Lyrics

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
Ooh, 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've 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, ah, she's afraid
A nightmare, growing cold
Nightmare, she's just a little too old, yeah
Well, I can see that you're living 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, yeah
Come on in, baby
Now, now, she can vamp her way to the spotlight
She digs the pretty boys on their guitars
She tries her sexy smile on the drummer
And he don't want to 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, yeah
And it's a nightmare when you fade
A nightmare, ah, she's afraid
A nightmare, growing cold
A nightmare, she's just a little too old, yeah
Well, I can see that you're living a nightmare (It's a nightmare)
I can see that you're dragging me in (Such a nightmare)
But the difference between me and you, it seems
I never lose, you never win
You never win
I can see that you're living 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, oh yeah
You never win, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
