Stephin Merritt - Too Drunk to Dream lyrics

[Intro: Stephen Merritt] Sober, life is a prison sh** faced, it is a blessing Sober, nobody wants you sh** faced, they're all undressing Oh, sober, it's ever darker sh**-faced, the moon is nearer Sober, you're old and ugly sh**-faced, who needs a mirror? Oh, sober, you're a Cro-Magnon sh** faced, you're very clever Sober, you never should be sh** faced, now and forever [Chorus 1: Stephen Merritt] I've got to get too drunk to dream Cause dreaming only makes me blue I've got to get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I've got to get too pissed to miss you Or I'll never get to sleep I've got to drink wine not to pine for you And God knows that ain't cheap [Verse 1: Stephen Merritt] I know you think I'm insane I know it's not appealing But 'til I'm feeling no pain Guess what I'll be feeling? [Chorus 2: Stephen Merritt] I've got to get too drunk to dream Because dreaming only makes me blue I've got to get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I've got to get too fried to cry Or I'll be crying all night long I've got to get too high to sigh Oh, my God, where did I go wrong? [Verse 2: Stephen Merritt] So why do I get plastered? And why am I so lonely? It's you, you heartless ba*tard You're my one and only [Chorus 1: Stephen Merritt] I've got to get too drunk to dream Cause dreaming only makes me blue I've got to get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I've got to get too pissed to miss you Or I'll never get to sleep I've got to drink wine not to pine for you And God knows that ain't cheap And God knows that ain't cheap
