Lyrics: Stop Showing Up In My Dreams

You called a taxi told me you were checking out
Left me in the lobby with the bill to think about
The concierge got nasty grabbed the phone to call a cop
Pulled a 360 and he offered me a job
Now I’m dragging baggage
Taking tips and Benzedrine
Trying to keep my eyes open
So you’ll stop showing up in my dreams

A big busload of Japanese, the gay geisha review
I bowed to them when they checked in it made me think of you
You never call, never write, never even fax
They moved me to the boiler room so how can I relax?
I’m pegging every meter
I’m building up the steam
But this thing is gonna blow
If you don’t stop showing up in my dreams

How did I get here, it’s a nightmare without end
I thought you were my lover
Thought you were my friend
I wanna take you out for telling me those lies
But the only time I see you
Is when I close my eyes

Every morning I tote room service trays
A bowl of stolen oatmeal all I’ve had to eat in days
Each afternoon I look for you out by the curb
And when they let me off I hang a sign “do not disturb”
But you’re still in my subconscious
You’re like a submarine
I’m gonna keep scraping bottom
Til you stop showing up in my dreams

The hotel dick was super quick to introduce himself
He’s off the case he couldn’t crack and on to something else
It might be me he’s on to but I’m keeping him at bay
I duck behind a potted plant each time he looks my way
But I’d like to get to know him
He ain’t quite what he seems
But I don’t wanna make my move
Until you stop showing up in my dreams
I can envision us together
Morning paper, coffee beans
But it ain’t gonna happen
Til you stop showing up in my dreams
