Dead Mans Dream

(intro)


As I lay down dying a floor for my bed

And a bundle of newspaper under my head

I dreamed a dream as strange as could be
(bass)
Concerning myself and somebody like me

( )


We were in some city the stranger and me

The houses were open and the streets empty

The windows were bare and the pavements dirty
(bass)
I asked where I was; my companion ignored me

( )


We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone

The graves were disturbed and the coffins wide open

And the corpses were rotten yet each one was living

Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling


I cried out in fear but my voice had left me

My legs were deformed yet I moved quite freely
(bass)
My head was on fire yet my hands were icy

(bass)


And everywhere light yet darkness engulfed me

( )

(solo on)


I managed to scream and woke from my slumber

I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered

Where had I been? What could it mean?

It was dark in the deathroom
