I Can't Wake Up to Save My Life

In my nightmare, everything's wrong

I'm waitin' for love, but you come along

You smile, you wave, you kiss me ciao

But you seem too happy to see me somehow

Then the sky falls in on my head

Your nails grow long, your eyes turn red

You say forever dear and a day

You swear that you're never gonna go away

And my feet won't move

To run the other way

And I can't wake up

To save my life

No, I can't wake up

To save my life

In my nightmare, you forgive me

The cruelest gift you could ever give me

You say that you understand me now

But your eyes say, "Brother, I'll get ya somehow"

Then the lightning streaks across the room

You smell like something fresh from the tomb

You squeeze too hard, you insist on kissing

When it seems like half your face is missing

And your hair's turned into reptiles hissing

And I can't wake up

To save my life

No, I can't wake up

To save my life

Things I done make my dreams go bad

Like Borstal boys comin' home to dad

What you reap, so shall you sow

My feets don't fail me, go man go

'Cause I can't wake up

To save my life

No, I can't wake up

To save my life

No, I can't wake up

No, I can't wake up

No, I can't, ooh
