Nightmares by the Sea

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young man

Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons

Little girl wants to make her home with him

In the middle of the shore, she wonders

"Don't know what you asked for"

"Don't know what you asked for"

All young lovers know why

Nightmares blind their mind's eye

Your rube is young and handsome

So new to your bedroom floor

You know damn well where you'll go

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all

From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls

With their bones they'll scratch the window

I hear them call

"Don't know what you asked for"

"Don't know what you asked for"

"Don't know what you asked for"

All young lovers know why

Nightmares blind their mind's eye

Your rube is young and handsome

So new to your bedroom floor

You know damn well where you'll go

Stay with me under these waves, tonight

Be free for once in your life, tonight

Your rube is young and handsome

So new to your bedroom floor

You know damn well where you'll go

All young lovers know why

Nightmares blind their mind's eye

Your rube is young and handsome

So new to your bedroom floor

You know damn well where you'll go

All young lovers know why

Nightmares blind their mind's eye

Your rube is young and handsome

So new to your bedroom floor

You know damn well where you'll go

Ah, ah, ah
