A Bad Dream That Won't Go Away

A Bad Dream That Won't Go Away

I had a vision of us dressed in rags

But this is a far cry from the dreams I had

I always thought we'd drink champagne in cars

But nothing's written in the stars

I guess nothing's written in the stars

 

And for the moment I am living in an abandoned hotel with you

Finding corners in the ceiling where the rats and the water won't come through

For the moment I am living in a movie setting worse than I could ever have imagined

Sick of believing that this is all there is that this is really what it amounts to

 

They show up at night to take the paintings down

They move so silently as if they know we're around

And we cuddle closer but without sound

Nothing really goes around

And nothing really comes around

 

And for the moment I am living in an abandoned hotel with you

Finding corners in the ceiling where the rats and the water won't come through

For the moment I am living in a movie setting worse than I could ever have imagined

Sick of believing that this is all there is that this is really what it amounts to
