Woke up this morning in a cold sweat One of those nightmares I sometimes get I was in a coffin six feet underground Shouting for help, but no-one hears a sound I'm scratching my way out Going mad I scream and shout What's this all about? I'm going mad, so come and let me out Splinters in my fingernails, pennies in my eyes My heart's still beating so I know that I'm alive What's going on, my mind full of dread Left in a coffin mistaken for dead These spooky nightmares scare me half to death I'm shut away, I can't take my breath I must escape to see the light of day 'Cause if I don't then I'll rot away At last I wake, it's quiet once more Was it a dream, well I'm not so sure Open my eyes, my God it's true With all that practise I know what to do
