Fireman
Dear You LP/CD, Fireman CD and 7", Ruckus compilation CD, Back to School compilation CD

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.

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.

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.

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.
