I Can't Wake Up to Save My Life

In my nightmare everything's wrong I'm waiting for love, but you come along You smile, you wave, you greet 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 going to go away And my feet won't move when I 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 you 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 coming home to dad What you reap so shall you sow My feet starting to fail me, go man go 'Cos 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
