Fireman

(专辑： Dear You - 1995)

Dreamed I was a fireman
I just smoked and watched you burn
Dreamed I was an astronaut
I shot you down like a juggernaut
Dreamed we were still going out
Had that one a few times now
Woke up to find we were not
It's good to be awake

Dreamed I was a tidal wave
I ravaged your coast, there were no survivors
Dreamed I was your landlord
I showed your place when you had lovers
If I was a vampire
I wouldn't suck your blood
Then I dreamed I was you
The sweetest dream I have had

If you could hear
The dreams I've had, my dear
They would give you nightmares for a week
But you're not here
And I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep

Dreamed I was a dream
Stole you away, away in your sleep
Saved you from a fire, a gun for hire
Introduced you to a vampire
A wave crashed on the beach
We rolled around in its foamy grasp
Kissing in the chaos of a kelpy sea
Seems I couldn't save you from me

If you could hear
The dreams I've had, my dear
They would give you nightmares for a week
But you're not here
And I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep

Maybe I'm obsessive to think like this
Probably not impressing you
With my cheap tricks
Honey, it's depressing what
Depression does to some
I'll play the part for hours but
I know you'll never come

If you could hear
The dreams I've had, my dear
They would give you nightmares for a week
But you're not here
And I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep
