Nightmare Town Lyrics

Well I dreamed that I couldn't see the sun

And the planet rolled along at a snail's pace

And no one tried to hide the evil done

And it scared me so to realize

That I was wide awake

Well now I'm going far away

Don't try to follow

You won't like it where I'm bound

I'm going far away

To Nightmare Town

Wild animals were roaming the streets

And the lions told the people that the jungle was their friend

The buildings fell like dominoes released

Crushed a hundred people

And then rose back up again

And now I'm going far away

Don't try to follow

You won't like it where I'm bound

Watch all the lives decay

In Nightmare Town

When you were younger

Did you ever close your eyes

And wake to find disaster at your door

Spend the day in horror

At the violence and lies

Dry your eyes and realize

It's still the night before

And the power lines are filled up with ambition

They swore that they could do it

Tho they never fit the plug

And the families were tied up by tradition

And sentimental history

Was the nation's favorite drug

And now I'm going far away

Don't try to follow

You won't like it where I'm bound

I'm going there to pray

For Nightmare Town

Well I dreamed that I couldn't see the sun

And the planet rolled along at a snail's pace

And I guess I should have turned away and run

But the nightmare has no borders

And the evil has no face

And now I'm going far away

Don't try to follow

You won't like it where I'm bound

I'm going far away

To Nightmare Town

And I guess I'm doomed to stay

In Nightmare Town

Well I dreamed that I couldn't see the sun

In Nightmare Town

And the planet rolled along at a snail's pace

In Nightmare Town
