something I said, something I did/is bringing on this violent emergency
one black day in ghostly white/it's just another sleepless night
and one more day, I'm always taking the dive/ All it takes is all I can give
all my waking hours just to see you live through this sleepless night
Violent Dreams every night/patiently waiting in the waiting room
hospital white/ hospital lights
burning an unbearable fluorescent gloom
still with both my eyes shut tight/it's just another sleepless night
one more day, I'm always taking the dive/ All it takes is all I can give
All my waking hours just to see you live
You behind closed eyes, behind closed doors/ "First thing tomorrow" someone said
she's hanging by a needle and a thread
Violent Dreams every night/ turning empty pages of old magazines
turning instead of turning in bed/turning off the static on the T.V. screen
in the vending machine light/ it's just another sleepless night
one more day I'm always taking the dive/ and all it takes is all I can give
all my waking hours just to see you live
