Bad Dream Lover by The Jazz Butcher Lyrics
You've been away for a long, long time and I like it
Why don't you take a match to a petrol pump and strike it?
Head-first through the bathroom door:
Hit me harder, hurt me more:
Drive your van round to my place
Tear my clothes and slap my face
If you said there was another way I would take it
If you'd let me keep you photograph I'd break it in two
Dream lover - what about it, dear?
Dream lover - oh, get out of here!
I'm in the backroom with a girl I adore
And she puts her arms around me and we sink into the rug
And then
You come walking through the wall
Like you just don't care at all
You're an insubstantial doll - bad dream lover, go away
And even though I'll try till my brains are fit to fry
You're always there close by - bad dream lover, go away
You're the one who said you never would desert me
But you only ever stick around to hurt me more
You were the girl that I never really had
I had to watch as slowly you went mad
Bad luck, evil eye, voodoo spirit in the sky
Yours for five bucks from a company in Oregon
And you come walking through the wall
You're a supernatural doll - bad dream lover, go away
And you keep on coming through, thought I'd seen the last of you
What am I supposed to do? Bad dream lover go away
I saw the doctor and the priest and they said "don't waste my time"
You've really got me beat, I'm reaching for my heater..
Just then you come walking through the wall
Like you just don't care at all
You're an insubstantial doll - bad dream lover, go away
It's evil and you know, but I just can't make you go
You're going to bring me low - bad dream lover, go away, and away
And you keep on coming through
I thought I'd seen the last of you
What am I supposed to do? bad dream lover, go away
And even though I'll try till my brains are fit to fry
I couldn't even tell you why - bad dream lover, go away!!
Why don't you take a match to a petrol pump and strike it?
Head-first through the bathroom door:
Hit me harder, hurt me more:
Drive your van round to my place
Tear my clothes and slap my face
If you said there was another way I would take it
If you'd let me keep you photograph I'd break it in two
Dream lover - what about it, dear?
Dream lover - oh, get out of here!
I'm in the backroom with a girl I adore
And she puts her arms around me and we sink into the rug
And then
You come walking through the wall
Like you just don't care at all
You're an insubstantial doll - bad dream lover, go away
And even though I'll try till my brains are fit to fry
You're always there close by - bad dream lover, go away
You're the one who said you never would desert me
But you only ever stick around to hurt me more
You were the girl that I never really had
I had to watch as slowly you went mad
Bad luck, evil eye, voodoo spirit in the sky
Yours for five bucks from a company in Oregon
And you come walking through the wall
You're a supernatural doll - bad dream lover, go away
And you keep on coming through, thought I'd seen the last of you
What am I supposed to do? Bad dream lover go away
I saw the doctor and the priest and they said "don't waste my time"
You've really got me beat, I'm reaching for my heater..
Just then you come walking through the wall
Like you just don't care at all
You're an insubstantial doll - bad dream lover, go away
It's evil and you know, but I just can't make you go
You're going to bring me low - bad dream lover, go away, and away
And you keep on coming through
I thought I'd seen the last of you
What am I supposed to do? bad dream lover, go away
And even though I'll try till my brains are fit to fry
I couldn't even tell you why - bad dream lover, go away!!
