My Nightmare
He's there in my dreams every night,
Kids call him the man of fright.
If you die in your dream,
You die in real life it would seem.
I try staying awake with pills,
On your bed there are coffee spills.
One, two…what was that?
There he is with that brown hat.
He's coming for me now,
I must be sleeping, but how?
I can't keep doing this,
He grabs me and gives me a death kiss.
Tonight I will die in the hands of a mad man,
My eyes pop open to see the empty coffee can.
I'm alive but for how long?
I decide to think of a plan while I sing that nightmare song.
The plan is to kill or be killed,
I would have to rebuild.
I started in my room where he would show,
Then down the stairs laid little bombs in a row.
I put on my watch and set the time,
I was going to finish this and end his crime.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
I fall asleep quite fast if you ask me,
But as long as I found him before he laid eyes thee.
Of course he found me first he is very cruel,
And this was his world and his rules.
I grabbed him before he could grab me,
He started to laugh with a hee hee hee.
I was smiling because my watch started to chime,
It was time to wake up it was time.
My eyes opened and saw nothing at first,
But he popped up with a great big burst.
Down the stairs I went watching out for surprise,
As he fell down the stairs we locked eyes.
He moaned in pain as I stood and smiled,
He was like a trapped wolf in the wild.
I took out the butchers' knife that I hid,
And I stabbed him further and further it slid.
One last stab before he lived no more,
I laughed and then I opened the door.
It was a sunny and warm day,
I was no longer the nightmare man's prey.
