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
"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
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
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.)
x2)
End on G
