There's a naked woman in my dreams And I want her, 'cause my brain made her There's a beauty, warming in my sheets And I want her, 'cause my brain made her Wake up every day, restless, wondering why That she could never be with an awake guy There's an ancient ocean under me And I'm haunted by the inhabitants All the mermaids laugh and call me names 'Cause I can't swim like their fancy friends (like their fancy friends) Get up every day, clueless, wondering why If I could only wake (wake) rested once or twice That'd be nice Each and every night, got a subconscious life Each and every night, I've got a subconscious life No book, no pill, no fancy alcohol Is gonna curb me from imaginary late night brawls There's a homemade army of machines And they're marching on my battlefield Hoards of ancient electricities Kidnap brain waves, electrocuting me There's no other way, gonna have to stay up really late Or risk another underwater no show date Yeah, each and every night, I've got a subconscious life Each and every night, I've got a subconscious life No I just can't control my dreams, baby No I just can't control my dreams, baby No I just can't control my dreams, baby
