"Too Drunk To Dream" lyrics

Sober, life is a prison
Shit-faced, it is a blessing
Sober, nobody wants you
Shit-faced, they're all undressing

Oh, sober, it's ever darker
Shit-faced, the moon is nearer
Sober, you're old and ugly
Shit-faced, who needs a mirror?
Oh, sober, you're a Cro-Magnon
Shit-faced, you're very clever
Sober, you never should be
Shit faced, now and forever

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 pissed 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

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?

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?

So why do I get plastered?
And why am I so lonely?
It's you, you heartless bastard
You're my one and only

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 pissed 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
