  • 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
    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

    You 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
    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

    "He represented a God to me, that was so beautiful
    That I'd do anything for him
    I'd do anything for God
    Even murder, if I believed it was right, how could it not be right
    If it was done with love?
    I have no remorse for doing what was right to me, I have no guilt in me"

    Whoa
    Whoa
