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

it's just another sleepless night



And one more day, I'm always taking a 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



And one more day, I'm always taking a 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



one more day I'm always taking the dive

and all it takes is all I can give

all my waking hours just to see you live
