Crawling on all fours on a sidewalk in an unknown town Try to get up, but you can't, weakness holds you down Pretend to be looking for something lost in the ground Cause people stare at you This is a nightmare Uniformed children dancing around you step on your hands Cute little creatures with the features of your best friends They try to stone you with marbles and chewing gum balls You're to weak to get out of there This is a nightmare Climbing the stairs of a house that is rocked by a storm Higher, higher, you're tired, you crawl like a worm There's a roar in your ears, the wall disappears, you are jolted down Still creeping to nowhere This is a nightmare Drag yourself through deserted streets under a dusty sun Trying empty bars, flats, stores, one by one Your brothers, your friends, all the others, where have they gone Is anybody there This is a nightmare
