[Verse 1]
I'm distilling everything she said into a potion
But it's always going to my head in slow motion
Oh nightmare girl

[Chorus]
Things are getting weirder
At the speed of light
Nightmare girl
All this fever dreaming kills my appetite
For another restless night

[Verse 2]
Once she wanted me to exorcise her self-possession
And then failing that she wanted lies and vivisection
Oh nightmare girl

[Chorus]
Things are getting weirder
At the speed of light
Nightmare girl
All this fever dreaming kills my appetite
For another restless night

[Bridge]
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 at midnight
I get a call at three
I gotta go and make it OK
[Chorus]
Cause things are getting weirder at the speed of light
Nightmare girl
All this fever dreaming kills my appetite
Nightmare girl

[Outro]
Things are getting weirder
Things are getting weirder
Things are getting weirder
