Standard (EADGBE)
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
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
