1990 Nightmare
Idlewild · Other Songs - Idlewild
The worst time of my life
Do you ever get the notion
That you're not born sometimes
It's bad dreams for you every night
Until the end (ten years later, I still miss you)
I see no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
I'm back in the hotel
I know you had the worst time of your life
But I've never had the notion
That I have not been born sometimes
Never
It's bad dreams for you every night
Until the end (ten years later, I still miss you)
I see no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
There's no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
It's 1990 night time (ten years later, I still miss you)
