Elvis Costello
Weird Nightmare
[Verse 1]
Weird nightmare, you haunt my every dream
Weird nightmare, tell me what's your scheme?
Can it be that you're a part
Of a lonely broken heart?

[Verse 2]
Weird nightmare, why must you torment me?
Weird nightmare, pain and misery
In a heart that's loved and lost
Take away the grief you've caused

[Bridge]
Can't sleep at night
Twist, turn in fright
With the fear that I'll live it all again in my dreams
You're there to haunt me
When you say she doesn't want me
I've been hurt
Do you know what that means?

[Verse 3]
Weird nightmare, take away this dream you've born
Weird nightmare, mend a heart that's torn
That has paid the price of love a thousand fold
Bring me a love with a heart of gold
Weird nightmare
