Too Drunk to Dream lyrics

[Intro: Stephin Merritt]
Sober, life is a prison
sh*t-faced, it is a blessing
Sober, nobody wants you
sh*t-faced, they're all undressing
Oh, sober, it's ever darker
sh*t-faced, the moon is nearer
Sober, you're old and ugly
sh*t-faced, who needs a mirror?
Oh, sober, you're a Cro-Magnon
sh*t-faced, you're very clever
Sober, you never should be
sh*t faced, now and forever

[Chorus: Stephin Merritt]
I've got to get too drunk to dream
'Cause dreaming only makes me blue
I've got to get too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you
I've got to get too p*ssed to miss you
Or I'll never get to sleep
I've got to drink wine not to pine for you
And God knows that ain't cheap

[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
I know you think I'm insane
I know it's not appealing
But 'til I'm feeling no pain
Guess what I'll be feeling?
[Chorus: Stephen Merritt]
I've got to get too drunk to dream
Because dreaming only makes me blue
I've got to get too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you
I've got to get too fried to cry
Or I'll be crying all night long
I've got to get too high to sigh
Oh, my God, where did I go wrong?

[Verse 2: Stephin Merritt]
So why do I get plastered?
And why am I so lonely?
It's you, you heartless bast*rd
You're my one and only

[Chorus: Stephin Merritt]
I've got to get too drunk to dream
'Cause dreaming only makes me blue
I've got to get too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you
I've got to get too p*ssed to miss you
Or I'll never get to sleep
I've got to drink wine not to pine for you
And God knows that ain't cheap
And God knows that ain't cheap
