Name: Nightmare
Duration: P00H02M22S
Description: Cover of "Nightmare" by a band called 213. The original version was the end credits music from the original Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), but apparently the band broke up not long after doing this song. I've always loved this one, and am a bit surprised that it has never been published officially anywhere. This was a lot of fun to work on, and I hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

I never was the kind to sleep with lights
but then I never had these kind of nights
Something evil watching over me
And I'm afraid this ain't no fantasy

It's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

And it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

I locked the doors and nailed the windows tight
I hoped that everything would be alright
But when I shut my eyes and slip right away...
Somebody wake me, help me get away

It's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

And it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

It's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

Baby it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

It's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

Baby it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)
No, it's a nightmare
(It's just a dream)

And it's a nightmare...
