the Night Watchmen - When I Dream Of You Lyrics

I wake up coughing, confused
I reach for a beer, for a pill, for a smoke
The sun is a viper and the curtains a shawl
I only recognize the pictures on my wall

When I dream of you
When I dream of you

I hide in my room to drive the demons away
And I wear a disguise to go out in the day
I'll talk to you like an actor when the curtains are drawn
Then I'll take off my make-up and fight you 'til dawn

When I dream of you
When I dream of you

I have a few heroes and enemies too
But I can't run away from the me that is you
I have a few mothers and fathers too
Bu I can't run away from the me that is you

All my friends are on late night TV
Celebrity shows, syndicated and overblown
My obsession is this direction
Why did I end up with this life this time?

When I dream of you
When I dream of you
When I dream of you
When I dream of you
