Nightmare Dance

Verse 1: I can't take it anymore

I've considered sleeping on the floor

as every time in sleep I drift away

my mind and body they begin to play

I'm always thrashing, as dreams go through my mind

cause my subconscious hunt for darkness to find

my pillows fly from the bed on which I lay

and the covers go they never want to stay

Chorus: its always been this way,

it never seems to change

and I just can't find

a way to calm my mind

Every night I'm thrashing, doing the nightmare dance (x2)

Verse 2: no one can tell me that it's fair

sometimes I sleep better than in a chair

I never seem to have a happy dream

and every night you can hear my screams

(Repeat Chorus)

nightmare's expire - yeah (x2)

one day I hope no more nasty dreams

silence instead of nightly screams

one day I'm hoping I wont be doing the nightmare dance (x4)

End
