Blue yster Cult — Nightmare Epiphany

Dahlia floated like chimney ash Up into a shredded sky It was raining acidic trash On the moon there crawled a fly Burning Teslas were driving by At their wheels, evil clowns And from the darkness there came a howling And somehow it called her down (Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany Then she saw him howling fury And he struggled with elastic chains And his parents smiled coldly As they shackled him down again There were leeches that were spiders And spiders that were flies The very stones that were his teachers Laughed in Mockery Then sweet Dahlia reached out to him And she tried to pull him free But the fallen angels that ran the place Enfolded him with monstrous glee (Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany Then Dahlia woke in clinging sheets Her fever broke but the dream remained She couldn’t forget it though a season passed She wouldn’t let it slip away And then she met him down at the mall On the edge of the parking lot Seems that he went to her school She was popular, he was not “I remember” (He told her then) “I’ll never forget the dream of chains You tried to help me,
Tried to descend Offered me something besides my pain And now I’ve found you In this concrete world- That only fools believe exists See I knew that you belonged to me In my nightmare epiphany” (Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany (Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
