Nightmare

She can vamp her way to the spotlight

She digs the pretty boys on their guitars

And though she shines like an angel of mercy

She comes on like a Hollywood star

She bites when she wants to be nasty

But she can see that she's starting to fade

She can see that the honeymoon's over, yes

And it's a nightmare

When you fade

A nightmare

She's afraid

Nightmare

Growing cold

Nightmare

She's just a little too old

You're looking at me through a window

You got your thoughts pinned on a suicide

And though I know you've done it all before now

You come blushing like a virgin bride

You gaze at all of the new wave beauties

They're in the limelight, you're in the shade

You can see that the honeymoon's over, yeah

And it's a nightmare

When you fade

A nightmare

She's afraid

A nightmare

Growing cold

Nightmare

She's just a little too old

Well I can see that you live in a nightmare

I can see that you're dragging me in

But the difference between me and you, it seems

I never lose, you never win

You never win

Come on here, baby

[Guitar Solo}

She can vamp her way to the spotlight

She digs the pretty boys on their guitars

She tries a sexy smile on the drummer

But he don't want a ride in her car

She seems to have lost all her powers of persuasion

The days are gone when she had it made

She can see that the honeymoon's over

And it's a nightmare

When you fade

A nightmare

She's afraid

A nightmare

Growing cold

Nightmare

She's just a little too old

Well I can see that you live in a nightmare

I can see that you're dragging me in

But the difference between me and you, it seems

I never lose, you never win

You never win

I can see that you live in a nightmare

I can see that you're dragging me in

But the difference between me and you, it seems

I never lose, you never win

You never win
