I Can't Wake Up To Save My Life Lyrics - Singles - Richard Thompson

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
