Weird Nightmare - Elvis Costello

Weird nightmare

You haunt my every dream

Weird nightmare

Tell me what’s your scheme?

Can it be that you’re a part

Of a lonely broken heart?

Weird nightmare

Why must you torment me?

Weird nightmare

Pain and misery

In a heart that’s loved and lost

Take away the grief you’ve caused

Can’t sleep at night

Twist, turn in fright

With the fear that I’ll live it all again

In my dreams

You’re there to haunt me When you say she doesn’t want me

I’ve been hurt

Do you know what that means?

Weird nightmare

Take away this dream you’ve born

Weird nightmare

Mend a heart that’s torn

That has paid the price of love

A thousand fold

Bring me a love

With a heart of gold

Weird nightmare
