[Chorus] The dream police They live inside in my head The dream police They come to me in my bed The dream police They're coming to arrest me Oh no [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Cause they're waiting for me They're looking for me Every single night They're driving me insane Those men inside my brain [Chorus] The dream police They live inside in my head (live inside in 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Cause they're waiting for me They're looking for me Every single night They're driving me insane Those men inside my brain [Bridge] I try to sleep, they'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 [Pre-Chorus] Cause they're waiting for me They're looking for me Every single night They're driving me insane Those men inside my brain [Chorus] The dream police They live inside in 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 [Outro] The dream police (police, police) The dream police (police, police)
