Lyrics
Had a nightmare for breakfast
and some whisky too
Had a nightmare for breakfast
and a tall whisky too
It's like sipping fire
When hell lives inside you
I tore good love down, but
I don't know why
I tore good love down, but
I don't know why
Darkness disconnects me
Can't find the words to apologize
I guess love is higher, than I can reach
I guess love is higher, than I can reach
My blues needs the candy from the bottle
It's the only way bad luck will let me sleep
Had a nightmare for breakfast
and some whisky too
Had a nightmare for breakfast
and a tall whisky too
Crying with red hot-sauce eyes
Every time I think of you
