[Intro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Now I'm a nightmare

[Verse 1]

Your grand entry was all a blur to me

I never saw your face, just your energy

I think you buried me under hotel sheets

Then sent me to hell on a second-floor city street

[Pre-Chorus]

I was having bad dreams, you ran away from me

Skeletons in your closet started breaking free

You said, "Don't worry, babe, this time around, I've changed”

You were my baby, but now you're my nightmare

[Chorus]

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

[Verse 2]

On the ceiling, I'm looking down on you

Getting high off them, but you don't want to

Am I on your mind? Don't you deny it

Good luck on the West Coast, I don't think you'll find it

[Pre-Chorus]

Fuck your California dreams, get away from me

Said you hated the city, but I don't believe

Call me up someday when you're not high off your face

And I'll be your baby, but now I'm your nightmare

[Chorus]

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

[Bridge]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

California dreams

Look what you did to me

Oh, I can never sleep

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Now I'm a nightmare)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Fuck your California dreams, get away from me

Said you hated the city, but I don't believe

Call me up someday when you're not high off your face

And I'll be your baby, but now I'm your—

[Chorus]

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

Now I'm a

Now I'm a nightmare

[Outro]

California dreams

Look what you did to me

Oh, I can never sleep

(Now I'm a nightmare)

California dreams

Look what you did to me

Oh, I can never sleep

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
