| This is the story of two lovers: anemone and kerosene |
| Liquid burning, like torch at the bottom of the sea |
| Never tell me the awful things you have done for money |
| And dress me in the clothes of my younger days when you bury me |
| Cause it was all a bad, bad dream |
| It was all a bad, bad, bad dream |
| It was all a bad, bad, bad, bad dream |
| We never saw anything, it was only light reflecting |
| We walked to the water arms in arm as friends |
| But when we crossed over we were lovers swimming in the bitter end |
| And a valley stretched before us but the grass was laden with mines |
| And with every explosion came a swing of the wrecking ball of time |
| But it was all a bad, bad dream |
| It was all a bad, bad, bad dream |
| It was all a bad, bad, bad, bad dream |
| We never saw anything, it was only light reflecting |
| So put on a smile, when the tears start to fall |
| Cause all this, all this is better than nothing |
