I Like Nightmares Lyrics

I like nightmares, I like being witless
Watch for the newsflash, 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 die 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 chickless
Flicking my lighter
Watching life flit west
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three...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 smokeThe Who - I Like Nightmares - http://motolyrics.com/the-who/i-like-nightmares-lyrics.html
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 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 honor, 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 midwest
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three 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
