It's justifiable rape, they say you choose 
And I like nightmares I like feeling cheekless {?} Lifting up my lighter {?} Watching life with west {?} '81, '82, '83, it's happening Can we afford strike three Don't trust the captain He's just a boy like me And I like nightmares, yes, I do There's a common way to weep, they say just smoke You can cry yourself to sleep, they say just toke There's a path that never fails, you can't get lost Don't need roads, you're on rails, I'll pay the cost And I like nightmares, yes, I do {bridge}

What we tasted was a voucher, pay their lunch 

               |C                       G 
We robbed their banks and we took their gold 

       |Am                       Bm 
And our lies in the tank must've sounded old 

      |A         D/A |A 
But we pleaded

I said, "You're honor were not chumps, after all, we only did it once." 
We like nightmares We taste our fitness All kind of goulash A taint in the midwest '81, '82, '83, it's happening Nothing votes interest free Don't care what it's wrapped in You can be abreast like me
          |A        A7 A6 A

      |A   A7 A6 A 
Yes, I do 

Bm G  |A           Bm G |A      A  ||
