Dream Police

Cheap Trick Dream Police Lyrics
1.Dream Police

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen
Music: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 rumors ain't nice
And when I fall asleep I don't think Ill survive the night the
night
'Cause they're waiting for me-looking for me Ev-ery sing-le
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
Oh no
Well I don'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-looking for me Ev-ery sing-le
night (they're)
Driving me insane-those men inside my brain
I try to sleep, thy're wide awake
They won't let 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-looking for me Ev-ery sing-le
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
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)


2.Way of the World

Written:Robin Zander/Rick Nielsen

It's the way of the world
Remember-you were in school and I followed you home
Remember-didn't think I xisted, 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 pwan was I dead or alive?
Remember-thought no one could hear me, I was goin' insane
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


3.The House Is Rockin' (With Domestic Problems)

Written:Tom Petersson/Rick Nielsen

I know, you know something's wrong still II gotta go home
He knows, she know, shut all the doors, lock all the windows
Heavy, heavy, heavy troubles
The house is rockin' still I gotta go in
Can't find the words 'cause they're so damned tough
Actin' like fools that can't get enough
Troubles-I can't explain what I can't see
Oh boy, oh boy
The house is rockin', the house is rockin'
Oh boy, oh boy
Non-stop day and night every day, every night
Oh boy, oh boy can't stop the fightin' - no
He said she said something's wrong still they're livin' at home
We hear, we heard-it sounded like the end of the world
Heavy, heavy, heavy, troubles
Can't find the words 'cause they're so damned tough
Actin' like fools that can't get enough
Troubles-I can't explain what I can't see
Oh boy, oh boy
The house is rockin', the house is rockin'
Oh boy, oh boy
Non-stop day and night every day, every night
Oh boy, oh boy can't stop the fightin' - no
I know, you know my world is in a spin
You wanna come on in?
He said, she said it's bad for the children
He went and bought a gun
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy problems
The house is rockin' still I gotta go in


4.Gonna Raise Hell

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen
Music:Rick Nielsen

Gonna raise hell-gonna raise hell
Gonna raise hell-gonna raise hell
Ambition? Ha!
If all I've heard is true
There's nothing much I can do
To change the world-it's irreversible
But in what it lacks
It's got a taste that smacks o something irresistible
Gnna 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 an 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 thing's you've 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? Yes!
Everybody here? 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

Tonight, tonight, I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, tonight, I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, tonight
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 might just 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
Tomorrow you won't be here and I don't expect you to
Tonight is all I really want I really want from you
Tonight, tonight, I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, tonight, I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, tonight
Evrything about you is more than everything
You make me crazy, I'm doin' crazy things-oh yeah
Tonight when I frst saw you I knew it had to be
Why'd you have to be so right for me
Though you're not my first love you might just 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
Tomorrow you won't be here and I don't expect you to
Tonight is all I really want I really want from you
From you, from you
Tonight, tonight-I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, tonight-I'll be with ya, I'll be with ya, I'll be with

6.Voices

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen
Music:Rick Nielsen

You didn't know what you were lookin'
for til you heard the voices in your ear
Hey, it's me again-plain to see again
Please can I see you every day
I'm a fool again, I fell in love with you again
Please can I see you every day
You didn't know what you were lookin'
for til you heard the voices in your ear
You didn't know what you were lookin'
for til you heard the voices in your ear
Words don't come out right
I try 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 every day
You didn't know what you were lookin'
for til you heard the voices in your ear
You didn't know what you were lookin'
for til you heard the voices in your ear
I remember every word you said (word you said)
I remember voices in my head (in my head)
I remember ever word you said (word you said)


7.Writing on the Wall

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen
Music:Rick Nielsen

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
In the Midwest, and the East Canada, South, West,
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
Saw it at the airport
Saw it on TV
Read it in a magazine runnin' down the street
Makes no sense but I hope it's gonna last
The next big thing-Ha
I really gotta laugh
Worked and slaved and played like hell
Everybody's goin' crazy you're the last to know
I 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
Played like hell


8.I Know What I Want

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen
Music:Rick Nielsen

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 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 know you feel it there's no doubt about it
It's gettin' stronger- 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
