I lost all hope I left it with someone, sometime, somewhere ago And I picture it now The house on the hill with nobody wandering around And I cry like hell I'm hugging the floor and pretending there's somebody else The more I sleep The less I dream The closer I feel Oh, my word I'm nothing but a curse Oh, my word I'm nothing but a- If I think things through There's still some way of me making this up to you The more I sleep The less I dream The closer I feel Oh, my word I'm nothing but a curse Oh, my word I'm nothing but a- All I have left is tied up in your head All I have left is tied up- The more I sleep The more I sleep The less I dream The closer I get Oh, my word I'm nothing but a curse Oh, my word I'm nothing but a curse Oh, my word I'm nothing but a curse Oh, my word I'm nothing but a curse
