You got me runnin’
All over this countryside
Searchin’ high and wide
Like a bandit
Cut off and alone

A frantic scream
Insidious atropine
Burns my skin
As it breathes

DON’T MAKE IT REAL
DELIVER ME FROM THIS SPARE
BAD NIGHTMARE
BRING ON THE MORNIN’
SCARY NIGHT
I CAN’T GO THROUGH IT ALONE

Tough as I fight
It holds on and won’t let go
A stranglehold
Of apprehension
The moon has turned black

Push through the weeds
A tangle of fear and mourn
A plea for dawn
Oh, set me free

AND I’M MAD
CAN’T WAKE UP
BUT WHEN I DO
THE SHADOWS LAUGH
IT’S ALL THE SAME
SCARY NIGHT
THAT LASTS A HIDEOUS DAY
