violent dreams
Violent dreams Every night Lately I've been waking out of urgency Something I said Something I did Is bringing on this violent emergency One black day in ghostly white For just another sleepless night One more day I'm always taking the dive All it takes Is all I can give All my waking hours just to see you live Through this sleepless night Violent dreams Every night Patiently waiting in the waiting room Hospital white Hospital lights Burning an unbearable fluorescent gloom Still with both my eyes shut tight It's just another sleepless night One more day I'm always taking the dive All it takes Is all I can give All my waking hours just to see you live You behind closed eyes Behind closed doors "First thing tomorrow" Someone said She's hanging by a needle and a thread Violent dreams Every night Turning empty pages of old magazines Turning instead Of turning in bed Turning off the static on the T.V. screen In the vending machine light It's just another sleepless night
