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 kiss 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 to run the other way 

And I can't wake up to save my life 
Oh I can't wake up to save my life 

In my nightmare you forgive me 
The cruellest gift you could ever give me 
You say that you understand me now 
But your eyes say "Brother, I'll get you somehow" 
And 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 you hair's turned into reptiles hissing 

And I can't wake up to save my life 
Oh 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 
Now feets don't fail me, go man go 

'Cause I can't wake up to save my life 
Oh I can't wake up to save my life 
No I can't wake up 
No I can't wake up 
Oh I can't
