Grinning demons smiling sideways
Laughing in my face
Here within my troubled sleep
There’s such a lonely place
Running fast but never moving
I can’t get away
Strange but realistic objects
Making me their prey

Then it’s gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la, La la la la la

Dining with the gods of beauty
On a distant shore
Tasting fruits of unknown sweetness
Never seen before
Dancing stars with crystal voices
Beckon with their eyes
Unicorn of many colours
Rides to paradise

Then it’s gone as fast as it came
Peaceful scene
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem

La la la la, La la la la la
Sleepless nights that last a lifetime
Crucify my head
Dreams of peace and then disaster
Wish that I were dead
Looking for the end of darkness
Seeking out the day
For escape with sweeter thought of
Bearing me away

Then it’s gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la, La la la la la

Come into my dream
