Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Aug. 22, 2013]

I wanna consume, I wanna eat up a mountain
Drink up an ocean, dream of a world
I wanna consume, I wanna smoke up a forest
Shoot up a river, run up the bill
I want women and men
And when the whole damn thing is over
I want it all back again
Yeah maybe I'll be happy then

We'll ride the nightmare every night
We'll skin our dreams
And then we'll fall from such a height
We'll split our seams

I wanna devour
I wanna suck up your power
I wanna smell all the flowers
I wanna use up my useless hours

We'll ride the nightmare every night
(We'll ride the nightmare every night)
We'll skin our dreams
And then we'll fall from such a height
We'll split our seams

I wanna absorb, I wanna absorb your spirit
Feed off your soul, drain out your youth
I wanna absorb, I wanna become your lover
Erase your master, live out your life
I want your time, and your thoughts
I want the things your sugar daddy bought you
What the alchemists and magicians sought
I want starboard, I want port

We'll ride the nightmare every night
(We'll ride the nightmare every night)
We'll skin our dreams
And then we'll fall from such a height
We'll split our seams

We'll ride the nightmare every night
(We'll ride the nightmare every night)
We'll skin our dreams
And then we'll fall from such a height
We'll split our seams

We'll ride the nightmare every night
(We'll ride the nightmare every night)
We'll skin our dreams...
