Jump, Little Children - Violent Dreams Lyrics

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

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
