Frank Black Another Velvet Nightmare

today i felt my heart
slide into my belly
so i puked it up with liquor
and i slept right where i lay
and i dreamed the backs of cards
for the faces were not telling
no i never have felt sicker
and i do not want to wake

here comes another nightmare of you again
another velvet nightmare come true again
oh i should have seen it coming
oh please don't let it end
my nightmare of you... again

no i never would have come here


but my eyes they would not focus
so i took my last three dollars
and i spent them on a drink
i had visions of you dear
but they floated without notice
all these drunkards do is hollar
till this drunkard cannot think

a curtain falls
a scene ????
it seems your blue eyes glisten

here comes another nightmare of you again
another velvet nightmare come true again
oh i should have seen it coming
oh please don't let it end
