Intro

Verse

You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here

It's far too bright for you

If they attack you just lay there, play dead dear

It's your only hope of pulling through

The seconds may seem like a lifetime, a dream recurring

A dream that can't come true

And they pin it all on you after all you've been put through

Chorus

"Sadie G. she's crazy see?" That's what the whitecoats say

 Now Ms Susan A., you're losing every opportunity to put us all away

Verse 2

Now run along my little nightmare your job is done here

You scared 'em all to death

If they revive them just sit there

Just smile dear make them grateful for every breath

The sentence may seem like a lifetime of scream

That's curdling the blood they found on you

And your knives & clothing too

Charlie's broken .22

Chorus

and then...

 Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way

 But you bound and gagged you shot and stabbed you tried to set 'em free

But they've thrown away the key

Whoooooooooooooooa! (etc.)
