I like nightmares, I like being witless
Watch for the newsflash, cool eyewitness
81, 82, 83, it's happening
Gotta be a fucking fool to blame TV, don't get trapped in
If you're lucky, be the same as me
I like nightmares, yes I do
There's a simple way to die, they call it news
There's a simple way to fly, they call it booze
There's an easy quiet escape, just sleep and cruise
It's justifiable rape, they say you choose
I like nightmares, I like feeling chick less
Flicking my lighter, watching life flit west
81, 82, 83, it's happening
Can we afford to strike three? Don't trust the captain
He's just a boy like me, and I like nightmares
Yes, I do
There's a common way to weep, they say just smoke
You can cry yourself to sleep, they say just joke
There's a path that never fails, you can't get lost
Don't need roads, you're on rails, I'll pay the cost
And I like nightmares, yes I do
We were wasted, but you're only waylaid once
What we tasted was a voucher bag and lunch
We robbed their bank and we took their gold
And our lies in the tank must've sounded old
But we pleaded
I said, "Your honour, we're not chumps
After all, we only did it once"
We like nightmares, they test our fitness
A full can of goulash, a taint in the mid-west
81, 82, 83, it's happening
Nothing floats interest free, don't care what it's wrapped in
You could be abreast like me, and I like nightmares
Yes, I do
I like nightmares
