Joe Jackson - In Every Dream Home (A Nightmare) lyrics

Is an actor so they say, or maybe worse

They say he changed his name

'cause someone with the same name made it first

His girlfriend come to stay

we hear her screams and think that they rehearse

so maybe it's a play

or maybe someone's really getting hurt

Look round every home town

every nice house-every fair deal

every good job-every square meal

in every dream home

a nightmare

The girlwho lives next door

is a model so they say though I'm not sure

She never seems to work

though clothes she wears suggest that she's not poor

She seems to be well known

with man friends always coming to her door

But they don't look her type

And she don't look the type to be a whore

Look round every home town

every nice house-every fair deal

every good job-every square meal

in every dream home

a nightmare
