Bad Dreams

Post by ken »

bad dreams by milwaukee youth center choir

dumb, dumb, dumb
that's how you're acting
like in a bad dream, dumb

dumb, dumb, dumb
don't know which way to run
you know that over shoulders is where danger comes from

If you don't have to worry
about dying in your sleep
then save up all your vigilance
for the daylight hours you keep
and I'll be saving all
of my worries in a jar
I'll meet you at the funeral
I hope you're not the star

dumb, dumb, dumb
every decision, won't you just try making one
that isn't dumb

dumb, dumb, dumb
you lost all logic when you
shook the sugar from the plum

[[ I don't know what your bad dreams are like but in mine it's always that I'm making these terrible decisions with dire consequences and I can watch myself doing it but I can't change it ]]

Here's more lyrics. "Bad Dreams" by 15-16 puzzle:

Staring at the ceiling, I start to turn over again,
Looking for a comfortable spot on this bed.
Staring at the shadows you cast and the doubt that your throw
Over every last thought in my head.

Counting sheep just leads to counting my unfinished business-
Half a glass of Tanqueray
Kinda makes me want to close my eyes but it don't take me
Far away. Far away, baby, far away.

When I hear the neighborhood kids in the park cross the street,
Well, it's really hard to put out of my mind.
When I hear the neighbors upstairs rearranging their furniture
How am I supposed to unwind?

Relaxation tape makes one more noise to join the madness;
Crashing waves, oh, wash away
Bitter pills to take and break this overwhelming sadness
Any day now. Anyday, hurry, any day.

Bad dreams
Seem to whisper me their invitations
I can't hear what they say.
Did you know that I
Had dreams
Long ago that things would be alright,
But I don't think they're gonna be okay.

Every other night,
It seems
There's a chance to start this whole thing over;
Instead, deja vu.
Bad dreams
May be unattractive-
They ain't half as
Bad as one more sleepless night with you.
No, they ain't
Half as bad as one more night with you.

bad dreams - frankie big face

put away your sleeping pills
and pull your body to me
in the morning I will still be
by your side

pull the plug on your white noise machine
and I will whisper in your ear
and the only voice you'll hear
tonight is mine

and when you're feeling blue
i will comfort you
i'll hold you close
and squeeze you tight
everything will be all right
if I can make you see
life's not as bad as it seems
there'll be no more bad dreams

when the world won't let you go
your night drags on for days
i've been there before and I know the way
to light

so pull the plug on your white noise machine
and pull your body to me
in the morning I will still be
by your side

and when you're feeling low
i will be there to show you
all your troubles
all your fears
we can make them disappear
if I can make you see
life's not as bad as it seems
there'll be no more bad dreams

ad Dreams - Doctor Worm, sung by Jeff Fal

oh please don't walk away from me
i'm not to blame, why can't you
see the things that i would do for you
so easily

everybody has bad dreams sometimes
they're gone when you awake, but
mine remain as long as i'm alive

oh please just talk to me, i
can't stand this hostility
the silence, inhumane, affects my mind

i never wanted it to end
though it was wrong for you to pretend
that everything was just fine

tossing and turning and
yearning for you

this is just a bad dream

i will find you
and be free

everybody has bad dreams sometime

Bad Dreams, by Elysian Ring:

You may have won the battle
Behind closed doors
But one small victory don't matter
I intend to win this war

Call me all the names you want, I'm too strong
Push me, shove me, knock me all around
You're the weaker one when you hide behind a gun
I'm warning you baby, I do not stay down

I'll see you every night in your bad dreams
Don't go to bed, 'cause I'm always in your head
Every night in your bad dreams
You think I'm gone, 'til another nightmare comes along.

Call me all the names you want, I'm too strong
Push me, shove me, kick me to the ground
Pull the trigger babe, and you seal your fate
I'm warning you honey, I do not stay down

I'll see you every night in your bad dreams
Don't go to bed, 'cause I'm always in your head
Every night in your bad dreams
You think I'm gone, 'til another nightmare comes along

Wake up and you're drowning in a cold cold sweat
And your mind is full of terror that you can't forget
It's the consequence of doing what you did to me
And now your dreams will never set you free

Call me all the names you want, I'm too strong
Push me, shove me, kick me to the ground
Pull the trigger babe, and you seal your fate
I'm warning you honey, I do not stay down

I'll see you every night in your bad dreams
Don't go to bed, 'cause I'm always in your head
Every night in your bad dreams
You think I'm gone, 'til another nightmare comes along

Every night in your bad dreams
Can't shake me if you try, I'm gonna haunt you 'til you die
We'll reunite in your bad dreams
You think I'm gone, 'til another nightmare comes along

Every night in your bad dreams
You think I'm gone, 'til another nightmare comes along

hi. i'm new to song fight. hope you don't critcize my recording too much, i think its the song that counts more than the recording quality but any suggestions would be helpfull.

the sun is getting low, the shadows start to fall
i dread the dark of night, don't want to sleep at all

i know their waiting for me, bad dreams inside my head
i drink a pot of coffee, try to stay awak instead

i dream in animation, thick black lines and solid colors
people look wierd and animals talk
my dreams aren't like any others

scissors and pliers on parade, a blue balloon monster guards the door
baby bottles full of puke,
blood & guts & cartoon gore

i know their waiting for me, bad dreams inside my head

Bad Dreams
By: PrayForMojo with E.N.

Do not disturb
Until you have heard
The ringing of the phone
When she comes to me alone

These late night visions I have seen
I think that you just might have
Been right all along
You and I were wrong

This isn't my pillow and these aren't my sheets
And it's no damn wonder that I get no sleep
Maybe I'd be better with you lying next to me
But Maybe then I won't
Sports Center is playing on my small TV
And I hear the Cars out on the street
Maybe I'd better with you lying next to me
But that'll never happen again

Bad dreams when you're not here
(x4)

I told you don't appologize
It was only a matter of
Time till I would see
Why I get no sleep

Bad dreams when you're not here
(x4)

This isn't my pillow and these aren't my sheets
And it's no damn wonder that I get no sleep
Maybe I'd be better with you lying next to me
But maybe then I won't
Sports Center is playing on my small TV
And I hear the cars out on the street
Maybe I'd be better with you lying next to me
But that'll never happen
