Story Behind the Song
A song to exorcise nightmares being experienced by Sara.
Lyrics
Purple tigers, seas of frogs, evil fathers, killing sons
Who needs acid? No not me, I just go to sleep and see
I start to sweat, am I awake? Stuck in this dream, never to wake
It's Christmas now, and I'm a child, all those presents, drive me wild
Chorus:
No, no, no, don't let me go, Nightmare City ooeeooeeooeeooee
No, no, no, don't let me go, Nightmare City ooeeooeeooeeooee
My man goes off, on the prowl, in tiger skin, and with a growl
He staggers back, with his prey, of human kind, to my dismay
He locks the door, sends me away, the loin cloth gone, he has his way
I struggle now, and start to shout, I feel a hand, which shakes me out
Chorus
Midnight tolls, I don't feel sleepy!
Another drink or smoke would please me
I'm scared to go, to my sleeping den
To face new demons, from where or when
Old classmate there, across the road, dirty and downbeat, his scars show
He follows me, up the hill, is he stalking? Walk faster still
I start to run, I look behind, he's gaining now, out of my mind
Faster, faster, must keep going, chasing, gaining, keep on running
Chasing, gaining, must keep running
Chasing, gaining, must keep running
Chorus
Chorus
