Lyrics

[Verse 1]
N-no, n-no, it can't be true
N-no, n-no, it isn't you
N-no, n-no, it's not the way you are
N-no, n-no, it isn't you
N-no, n-no, it can't be true
N-no, n-no, it's not the way you are
[Verse 2]
Bad dreams for me
Bad dreams by the sea
[Verse 3]
Dreamin' you got a lover
Dreamin' I got another
Dreamin' that there's a killer in your eyes
Dreamin' that you're a user
Dreamin' that I'm a loser
Dreamin' that there's a killer in my eyes
[Verse 4]
Bad dreams for me
Bad dreams by the sea
[Verse 5]
Dreamin' about a place of shades
Dreamin' about the ace of spades
Dreamin' that that is takin' things too far
[Verse 6]
N-no, n-no, it can't be you
N-no, n-no, it isn't true
N-no, n-no, it's not the way you are
[Verse 7]
Bad dreams for me
Bad dreams by the sea
