Nocturnal Emission

well i'm lying in my bed
sweating, staring at the ceiling
in my brain i've painted a beautiful picture of you
i'm not even going to try to fall asleep tonight
i don't want to lose the picture in my mind, in my mind

then i close my eyes and quickly drift away
magically transported to another time and place
hold you in my arms as we go whirling through the air
going all for directions heading straight for nowhere

i wake up in a cold sweat, come to grips with reality
take a deep breath and lie back down wearing my badge of infamy
when the bulb in my night light flickers, flickers, flickers and dies
i'm left alone, staring at my ceiling once again

then i close my eyes and quickly drift away
magically transported to another time and place
hold you in my arms as we go whirling through the air
going all for directions heading straight for nowhere

heading straight for nowhere

then i close my eyes and quickly drift away
magically transported to another time and place
hold you in my arms as we go whirling through the air
going all for directions heading straight for nowhere

my nocturnal emission
