I Can't Wake Up To Save My Life Songtext / Lyric

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
