Intro: verse 1: 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 Pre Chorus 1: And seconds they seem, like a lifetime, a dream Recurring, a dream that can't come true And they'll pin it all on you after all you've been put through "Sadie G. She's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say Now Ms. Susan A. you're losing Every opportunity, to put us all away Chorus verse 2: Now run along my little nightmare, your job is done here You've scared them all to death If they revive them just sit there, just smile dear Make them thankful for every breath Pre Chorus 2: The sentence may seem, like a lifetime, a scream That's curdling the blood they found on you And your knives and clothing too Charlie's broken .22 "Sadie G. She's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say Now Ms. Susan A. you're losing Every opportunity Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way That you've bound and gagged, you've shot and stabbed You tried to set 'em free, but they've thrown away the keys Post Chorus 1: (The spoken word part) Bridge: (Whoooooaaa!) Post Bridge: Outro:
