Bad Dream – Lyrics

Dead on the road, straight out of Lola

Killed by a stranger, some passer by

Went from his own thoughts straight into nothin’

To a void in his mem’ry where it’s her time to die

 

Brother comes up, says best not be forgettin”

No good can come from it, this way ‘r that

Rec’a’lect while you can this path on which y’r bettin’

Leads around in a circle right back where y’r at

 

There’s an end to this road ‘a broken rock to the water

See the size of the people loom way out of whack

His wife says she knows it’s that bad dream he’s havin’

While the hearts of all children stop … in their tracks

 

The man I am with is unhinged, talkin’ crazy

Knife in his hand, huddled down on the floor

There’s a man hoverin’ over, don’t seem to be bothered

When it’s nowhere we’re goin’, he’s been there before

 

I can’t remember before this f’r nothin’

Seems like I woke up ‘n found myself here

She points down the hall to a restroom or somethin’

No rest for the wicked, that much is clear

 

There’s an end to this road ‘a broken rock to the water

See the size of the people loom way out of whack

His wife says she knows it’s that bad dream he’s havin’

While the hearts of all children stop … in their tracks

While the hearts of all children stop … in their tracks
