Nightmare

The Velvets

 

[Scream]

 

The other night, dear,

As I lay snug in my bed

I had a bad dream

That really woke my head

 

Well, I tossed and I turned

I woke up and I was so glad to learn

That I hadn’t lost you

It was a bad nightmare

 

[Scream]

 

I had to call you

To try to ease my mind

I couldn’t get you

On a line

 

So I walked to your home

And found out that all your lights were on

Does this mean I’ve lost you?

I’m like a bad nightmare

 

[Scream]

 

Nightmare—that’s what I had.

Nightmare—you know they make me feel bad.

If I’d really lost you,

My life’s a bad nightmare

 

[Scream]

 

Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare

 

Can you imagine?

That night that I went through

I had a bad dream

It’s always coming true

 

If your love, I can’t keep

Then I wish that I had gotten to sleep

If I really lost you,

My life’s a bad nightmare

 

Nightmare—hey, I lost my baby.

Nightmare—somebody help me.

Nightmare—do you know what I mean?
