Lyric Dream Police

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen

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.
