Intro : - -
I took a walk around the y ard
Dug the flowers 'til it got too h ard
Smoked my first pack of c igarettes today
Then I I went d own down to Lucy's old Caf e
Put a half a case aw ay
Took a sleeping pill and I t ried to watch TV
But you know b aby the leading lady
L ooked too much l ike you for the likes of me
And I woke up c rying i n my s leep
I was t alking to your p illow
And I reached o ut to to uch your h and
And knocked the p hone off the n ightstand
And the o perator said ("May I h elp you please?")
And I said "N o thanks baby ton ight there is no help for m e
I j ust had a bad d ream that's a ll that's wrong with m e
See I j ust had a bad d ream"
W ent out to loosen up the c ar
Somehow I wound up at the rainbow b ar
I had a scotch and s oda on the run
But I d idn't get too far
The I then I ran d own down some friends I used to k now
I dragged them out to see the s how
I ran myself a bath and I t ried to read your book
But you know b aby this time
It j ust didn't seem quite worth all the t ime it took
And I woke up c rying i n my s leep
I was t alking to your p illow
And I reached o ut to t ouch your h and
And knocked the p hone off the n ightstand
And the o perator said ("May I h elp you please?")
And I said "N o thanks baby ton ight there is no help for m e
You see I j ust had a bad bad d ream that's a ll that's wrong with m e
See I j ust had a bad d ream
You know I j ust had a bad d ream"
Outro: (repeat & fade)
I woke up c rying___
You know I j ust had a bad d ream
C ryin g in my slee p
You know I j ust had a bad d ream
