Nightmare Girl Lyrics - Aimee Mann

I'm distilling everything 

She said into a potion 

But it's always going 

To my head in slow motion 

Oh, nightmare girl 

Things are getting weirder 

At the speed of light 

Nightmare girl 

All this fever dreaming 

Kills my appetite 

For love and restless nights 

Once she wanted me 

To exercise her self-possession 

And then failing that 

She wanted lives and vivisection 

Oh, nightmare girl 

Things are getting weirder 

At the speed of light 

Nightmare girl 

All this fever dreaming 

Kills my appetite 

For love and restless nights 

I'm on a train to Brooklyn 

I'm on the IRT 

I've gotta think I'm saving the day 

I get a call in the night 

I get a call at three 

I gotta go and make it okay 

'Cause things are getting weirder 

At the speed of light 

Nightmare girl 

All this fever dreaming 

Kills my appetite 

Nightmare girl 

Things are getting weirder 

Things are getting weirder 

Things are getting weirder
