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

　　In my nightmare everything's wrong

　　I'm waiting for love but you come along

　　You smile you wave you great 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 promise you're never going to go away

　　And my feet won't move

　　When I run the other way

　　CHORUS

　　I can't wake up to save my life

　　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

　　Then the lightning streaks across the room

　　You smell like something fresh from the tomb

　　You squeeze too hard you iinsist on kissing

　　When it seems like half your face is missing

　　And your hair's turned into reptiles hissing

　　I can't wake up to save my life

　　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 ye reap so shall ye sow

　　Now shake me wake me go man go

　　I can't wake up to save my life

　　I can't wake up to save my life

　　I can't wake up

　　I can't wake up
