Nightmares
[THIS IS A SONG]
It was a simple turn around,
nothing more and nothing less.
As they lied there counting all them sheep,
I feel asleep and did not dream of sugarplum fairies.
Nightmares and nightmares all night long,
there I saw them, demons and fire and more.
On the edge of breaking down I called out
to you, oh to you, just to you.
Breaking up on the telephone reception I couldn't make you out
word for word.
Every other word was heard, the others piled up in the gutter-
What you gonna do when all I hear is,
Nightmares of you all night long?
That night I snuck at of my house,
I needed to see you, for old time's sake.
Before I drift off to sleep there's something I need to share,
All them nightmares, every last one,
Are all about you.
You, you, you.
Nightmares and nightmares all night long,
there I saw them, demons and fire and more.
On the edge of breaking down I called out
to you, oh to you, just to you.
Breaking up on the telephone reception I couldn't make you out
word for word.
Every other word was heard, the others piled up in the gutter-
What you gonna do when all I hear is,
Nightmares of you all night long?
Do you hear what they're saying about us?
About how what we're doings all so wrong?
Me coming to you in the middle of the night to escape,
apparently it's not right.
It shouldn't be done and I just don't understand,
How saving me is not right.
The demons come to play,
The fire dances on the edge of falling.
Can you hear me screaming out loud?
I'm trying so damn bad to get it out of my mind.
But its not, not, not helping at all.
Nightmares and nightmares all night long,
there I saw them, demons and fire and more.
On the edge of breaking down I called out
to you, oh to you, just to you.
Breaking up on the telephone reception I couldn't make you out
word for word.
Every other word was heard, the others piled up in the gutter-
What you gonna do when all I hear is,
Nightmares of you all night long?
It was a simple turn around,
nothing more and nothing less.
As they lied there counting all them sheep,
I feel asleep and did not dream of sugarplum fairies.
Nightmares and nightmares all night long,
there I saw them, demons and fire and more.
On the edge of breaking down I called out
to you, oh to you, just to you.
Breaking up on the telephone reception I couldn't make you out
word for word.
Every other word was heard, the others piled up in the gutter-
What you gonna do when all I hear is,
Nightmares of you all night long?
That night I snuck at of my house,
I needed to see you, for old time's sake.
Before I drift off to sleep there's something I need to share,
All them nightmares, every last one,
Are all about you.
You, you, you.
Nightmares and nightmares all night long,
there I saw them, demons and fire and more.
On the edge of breaking down I called out
to you, oh to you, just to you.
Breaking up on the telephone reception I couldn't make you out
word for word.
Every other word was heard, the others piled up in the gutter-
What you gonna do when all I hear is,
Nightmares of you all night long?
Do you hear what they're saying about us?

The fire dances on the edge of falling.

What you gonna do when all I hear is,
Nightmares of you all night long?
