Cheap Trick Album

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when I fall asleep I don't think I'll survive the night, the night.

'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
(Live inside of my head.)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
(Come to me in my bed.)
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

Well, I can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me.
And when I fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight.

'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.
They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't let me alone.
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me.

It's the way of the world...
Remember you were in school and I followed you home.
I remember, didn't think I existed but we're comin' together right now.
I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.
You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.


Remember, I knew I'd be good for you.
No one better remember, really meant what I said, wanna be your lover right now.
I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.
You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.
World goes round, life goes on, and on, and on.
You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' round.

It's the way of the world.

Remember, you were at work and then Friday at five, I remember, felt like a pawn, was I dead or alive?
I remember, thought no one could hear me, I was goin' insane.
I remember, it was a real fine line, now you've changed my life around.
I've been runnin', I've been hidin', it's the way of the world.
You say it's over, but the world keeps turnin' 'round.
World goes round, life goes on, and on, and on.
World goes 'round, (I've been runnin')
World is round (I've been hidin')
Life goes on and on and on ((It's the way of the world).

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Ambition? Ha!
If all I've heard is true,
There's nothin' much I can do
To change the world, it's irreversible.
But in what it lacks,
It's got a taste that smacks of somethin' irresistable.

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

Submission? Yes!
Now I won't name names, and a secret's a secret,
But a hint's a hint or a clue.
You really wanna know, you really wanna go,
There's only two things you got to do.

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

Mother, mother.
Mother, mother.
Mother, mother.

My mission? Ah, yes!
Everybody hear? Everybody here,
It's a fate I all agree.
Sometimes you win, I never lose,
To me it's no mystery.

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

You got me burnin', burnin' with desire,
You got me burnin', burnin' like a fire, oh yeah.

You got me thinkin', thinkin' what I'll do,
No doubt about it, I want it with you.
Though you're not my first love,
You just might be my last.
My heart is poundin' like a drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, yeah.
Tonight will be the first night that I've been in love with you.
You get me so excited, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.

Why'd you have to be so right for me?
Though you're not my first love, you just might be my last.
My heart is poundin' like a drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, yeah.
Tonight will be the first night that I've been in love with you.

You didn't know what you were looking for
'Till you heard the voices in your ear.

Hey, it's me again.

You didn't know what you were looking for
'Till you heard the voices in your ear.
You didn't know what you were looking for

Words don't come out right.
I tried to say it, oh, so right.
I hope you understand my meaning.
Hey, it's me again.
I'm so in love with you again.
Please, can I see you ev'ry day?

You didn't know what you were looking for
'Till you heard the voices in your ear.

All right, I saw the writing on the wall.
All night, I saw the writing on the wall,
I saw the writing on the wall.

Lo and behold, heard it on the radio.
It was a long time comin', but it sounds so sweet, Come on, man, get off my back.

All right, I saw the writing on the wall.
All night, I saw the writing on the wall,
I saw the writing on the wall.

In the Midwest and in the East.
Canada, Southwest, around the world,
L.A., Tokyo, sounds so sweet,
Come on honey, get on your feet.

All right, I saw the writing on the wall.
All night, I saw the writing on the wall,
I saw the writing on the wall.

The words were oh, so...
The words were oh, so clear.

All right, I saw the writing on the wall.
All night, I saw the writing on the wall,
I saw the writing on the wall.

Lo and behold, heard it on the radio.
It was a long time comin', but it sounds so sweet, Come on, man, get off my back.
Saw it at the airport, it was on T.V.
Read it in a magazine, runnin' down the street.
Makes no sense, but I hope it's gonna last,
the next big thing, I really gotta laugh.
Worked and slaved and played like hell,
Everybody's goin' crazy, you're the last to know.
Can't explain it, still a joke to me,
Maybe I'm naive, 'cause it's so plain to see.

It's right in front of your face, man.
It's right in front of your face, man.
Played like hell, whoa!
Played like hell, whoa!

I've been around the world and met a million girls,
Still, I know I wanna be with you.
You've got more than anyone else,
And I want you more than anything;

'Cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you.

I knew I'd meet you, I had a dream about you,
We were walkin' hand in hand,
we were talkin' 'bout love.
It was love at first sight,
when I looked into your eyes
I was blinded by the feelings in my heart.

'Cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you.

I know, I know, I know, I know what I want!
I know what I want!
I want it!

Well, ya knew I'd meet you,

We were walkin' hand in hand,

Love at first sight, when I looked into your eyes
I was blinded by the feelings in my heart.
I know you feel it, there's no doubt about it,
It's gettin' stronger every day.
It's a one in a million, I was shootin' for the stars,
You're the world's greatest lover and you're mine.

'Cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you.

I know what I want, and I know how to get it.
