The Magnetic Fields Lyrics
"Too Drunk To Dream"

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!!!
