Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow |
|
Laughed with all his friends |
|
And all the little men who borrow tunes |
|
They heard just yesterday |
|
Davey got us down but we got away |
|
And drank to all the days |
|
We had whiled away |
|
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase |
|
Then the nightmares come and you get blown away |
|
And up in your room your walls are cold |
|
You find your head is holding out |
|
For the welcome of a better day |
|
Then the nightmares come and you get blown away |
|
And up in your room your walls are getting colder |
|
Like you're getting on a roller coaster |
|
You can't find the breaks |
|
Stevie burned the sky when he flew away |
|
And left us things to say |
|
When all the world is falling down |
|
Around our shoulders, cold and gray |
|
Harry carried on in his usual way |
|
And Minnie went inside |
|
He came out once and we both cried |
|
And Minnie blew my head away |
|
And then the nightmares come and you get blown away |
|
And up in your room your walls are cold |
|
You find your head is holding out |
|
For the welcome of a better day |
|
Then the nightmares come and you get blown away |
|
And up in your room, your walls are getting colder |
|
Like you're getting on a roller coaster |
|
You can't find the breaks |
|
When you're giving everything away |
|
Everybody lets you pay |
|
You're saving up for a better day |
|
You're seeing things in a better way |
|
When you know you've got to live |
|
There's nothing you won't give |
|
To hear the phone and not let it ring |
|
Every Monday morning |
|
Shughie found love and he almost cried |
|
We laughed and wondered why |
|
We loved the sky and found the space |
|
And gazed out over Stevie's plane |
|
But then the nightmares come when your friends go away |
|
And up in your room your walls are cold |
|
You find your head is holding out |
|
For the welcome of a better day |
|
Then the nightmares come, you get blown away |
|
And up in your room, your walls are getting colder |
|
Like you're getting on a roller coaster |
|
You can't find the breaks |
|
Then the nightmares come |
