Lonesome, I get so lonesome sometimes
Keeping you off my mind
Is a hard thing for a man to do
And I believe you're gonna help me too

You'll become someday cheat
Been seen on every street
My old friends are trying your game
And no one's coming out quite the same

It's kind of like a nightmare
I get so desperate for you
It's kind of like a nightmare
Certainly like to be your dumb fool

As my wish was realized
You turned into a dream of lies
Kind of a nightmare keeping us apart

So tired to see that rehearsed smirk on your face Your act is all a waste
And although I'm falling down
It helps to know that you're a last great clown

In your circus of conceit
Your role is played complete
So instead of dying dreams
Things are coming out the way it seems

It's kind of like a nightmare
I get so desperate for you
It's kind of like a nightmare
Certainly like to be your dumb fool

As my wish was realized
You turned into a dream of lies
Kind of a nightmare keeping us apart

It's kind of like a nightmare
I get so desperate for you
It's kind of like a nightmare
Certainly like to be your dumb, dumb fool

When lost hope was found at last
You stuck my future into your past
Kind of a nightmare keeping us apart
A nightmare keeping us apart
Nightmare keeping us apart
Nightmare
