I Like Nightmares
The Who
{intro} | | | | | | I like nightmares | I like being witless | One for the news flash | Cool eyewitness | | Eighty-one eighty-two eighty-three 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 And I like nightmares I like feeling cheekless {?} Lifting up my lighter {?} Watching life with west {?} ’81 ’82 ’83 it’s happening Can we afford 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 toke 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 {bridge} | | We were wasted but you’re only waylaid once | | What we tasted was a voucher pay their lunch | We robbed their banks and we took their gold | And our lies in the tank must’ve sounded old | | But we pleaded | | | I said "You’re honor were not chumps after all we only did it once." We like nightmares We taste our fitness All kind of goulash A taint in the midwest ’81 ’82 ’83 it’s happening Nothing votes interest free Don’t care what it’s wrapped in You can be abreast like me | And I like nightmares | Yes I do | | || I like nightmares
