Too Drunk To Dream

The Magnetic Fields · Distortion [2008]

sober

life is a prison

shit-faced

it is a blessing

sober

nobody wants you

shit-faced

they're all undressing

oh, sober

it's ever darker

shit-faced

the moon is nearer

sober

you're old and ugly

shit-faced

who needs a mirror

oh, sober

you're a cro-magnon

shitfaced

you're very clever

sober

you never should be

shit-faced

now and forever



i gotta get

too drunk to dream

because dreaming only makes me blue

i gotta get too drunk to dream

because i only dream of you



i gotta get too pissed to miss you

or i'll never get to sleep

i gotta drink wine apt to pine for you

and god knows that ain't cheap



i know you think i'm insane

i know it's not appealing

but till i'm feeling no pain

guess what i'll be feeling



i gotta get

too drunk to dream

because dreaming only makes me blue

i gotta get

too drunk to dream

because i only dream of you



i gotta get

too fried to cry

or i'll be crying all night long

i gotta get too high to sigh

oh my god where did i go wrong



so why do i get plastered

and why am i so lonely

it's you, you heartless bastard

you're my one and only



i gotta get

too drunk to dream

because dreaming only makes me blue

i gotta get

too drunk to dream

because i only dream of you



i gotta get

too pissed to miss you

or ill never get to sleep

i gotta drink apt to pine for you

and god knows that ain't cheap



and god knows that aint CHEEEAAAAPPPP!!!
