[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)
