City & Horses - I Don't Want To Dream lyrics

rate me

My nose bleeds and flares like a torch

Cement cracked weeds scar my grandma's porch

I'm not the sort to turn away

Like spider veins choke David's right peck

My eyes are wider than a Coke bottle neck

I jump the deck to hit the hay

I can sleep like nobody's business

Just please don't let me dream

I cannot bear to bear witness

To the scary thoughts that haunt me

My legs are restless and kick like an ass

And there on the wall a slack jaw Billy bass

Turns and takes me to the river

The bumps under my eyes form U and me

The crease in the sheets meant I slept till three

And awake in a river

I can sleep like nobody's business

Just please don't let me dream

I cannot bear to bear witness

To the scary thoughts that haunt me

I never sang that I wanted to be haunted

That wasn't me, I don't drink whiskey

But of my beds, oh my rebellious beds

Are empty, are empty

Are empty now

Are empty now

Don't tempt me now
