fireman lyrics

Dreamed I was a fireman. I just smoked and watched
you burn. Dreamed I was an astronaut. I shot you down
like a juggernaut. Dreamed we were still going out.
Had that one a few times now. Woke up to find we were
not. It's good to be awake. Dreamed I was a tidal
wave. I ravaged your coast, there were no survivors.
Dreamed I was your landlord. I showed your place when
you had lovers. If I was a vampire, I wouldn't suck
your blood. Then I dreamed I was you. Sweetest dream
I have had. If you could hear the dreams I've had, my
dear, they would give you nightmares for a week. But
you're not here and I can never sleep. Come home so I
can be a creep. Dreamed I was a dream. I stole you
away in your sleep. Saved you from a fire, a gun for
hire, I introduced you to a vampire. A wave crashed
on the beach. We rolled around in its foamy grasp.
Kissing in the chaos of a kelpy sea. Seems I couldn't
save you from me. Maybe I'm obsessive to think like
this. Probably not impressing you with my cheap
tricks. Honey, it's depressing what depression does
to some. I'll play the part for hours but I know
you'll never come.
