Too Drunk To Dream Lyrics - Distortion - The Magnetic Fields

Sober, life is a prison 

Shit faced, it is a blessing 

Sober, nobody wants you 

Shit faced, they're all undressing 

Oh, sober, it's ever darker 

Shit faced, the moon is nearer 

Sober, you're old and ugly 

Shit faced, who needs a mirror? 

Oh, sober, you're a cromagnon 

Shit faced, you're very clever 

Sober, you never should be 

Shit faced, now and forever 

I gotta get too drunk to dream 

'Cause dreaming only makes me blue 

I gotta get too drunk to dream 

Because I only dream of you 

I gotta get too pissed to miss you 

Or I'll never get to sleep 

I gotta drink wine not to pine for you 

And God knows that ain't cheap 

I know you think I'm insane 

I know it's not appealing 

But till I'm feeling no pain 

Guess what I'll be feeling? 

I gotta get too drunk to dream 

'Cause dreaming only makes me blue 

I gotta get too drunk to dream 

Because I only dream of you 

I gotta get too fried to cry 

Or I'll be crying all night long 

I gotta get too high to sigh 

Oh, my God, where did I go wrong? 

So why do I get plastered? 

And why am I so lonely? 

It's you, you heartless bastard 

You're my one and only 

I gotta get too drunk to dream 

'Cause dreaming only makes me blue 

I gotta get too drunk to dream 

Because I only dream of you 

I gotta get too pissed to miss you 

Or I'll never get to sleep 

I gotta drink wine not to pine for you 

And God knows that ain't cheap 

And God knows that ain't cheap
