Dropkick Murphys Rude Awakenings Lyrics

The bed was still warm where I slept
From these hours I wish to forget
With the night still fresh on my breath
I awoke to the grim face of death

I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true
I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true

As I crawled across the floor for the door
From one room I don't know to the next
There was nothing familiar around
And it just aint my style to leave the seat down

I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true
I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true

I pulled on my clothes still half in a dream
As I struggled with my conscience and a multidirectional stream
(What ya take her for)
I buried my loneliness with her for the night
The I left with new symptoms no anti-depressant could cure
(What ya take her for)
She took me for all I was worth
May I remind you that aint much at all
A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times
As it turns out you weren't worth the call

I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true
I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true
But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you

With equal surprise she opened her eyes
Sat up and shouted "For christ sake who the hell are you!"
(What she take ya for)
She cooked me my breakfast then called me a cab
Shoved me out the door and threw the five dollar fare in my face
(what she take ya for)
She took me for all I was worth
May I remind you that aint much at all
A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times
As it turns out you weren't worth the call

I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true
I thought it was all just a nightmare
I guess it was true
But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you
