Bad Dream

This is the story of two lovers: anemone and kerosene

Liquid burning, like torch at the bottom of the sea.

Never tell me the awful things you have done for money

And dress me in the clothes of my younger days when you bury me.

'Cause it was all a bad, bad dream

It was all a bad, bad, bad dream

It was all a bad, bad, bad, bad dream

We never saw anything, it was only light reflecting

We walked to the water arms in arm as friends

But when we crossed over we were lovers swimming in the bitter end

And a valley stretched before us but the grass was laden with mines

And with every explosion came a swing of the wrecking ball of time

But it was all a bad, bad dream

It was all a bad, bad, bad dream

It was all a bad, bad, bad, bad dream

We never saw anything, it was only light reflecting

So put on a smile, when the tears start to fall

'Cause all this, all this is better than nothing
