LYRICS

Tonight

I had this dream but my vision was cracked

Drifting away you said you're not coming back

You're moving out while I'm flat on my back

What are you doing to me

You're making me happy

I was always sad

Whenever I'm happy my dreams are sad

Make me happy tonight

We must go on now there's no turning back

Kiss my defences with one of those counter attacks

I'm exposed, shown you too much

Now you're invading my dreams

Making me happy

I was always sad

Afraid to be happy, that's so sad

Make me happy tonight

Something's burning in my kitchen

Stop that smiling, something's smoking

Soon be crying, soon be broken

Fire, fire, fire

Make me happy tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight
