Nightmare Songtext
von Rumors of the Big Wave

In this garden of flesh and bone,
I stand in the middle of the tracks.
Let the loneliness carry me to the farthest shore,
Let the cold wind blow and my back.

When the man says how can you live here,
Don′t you worry about losing your soul?
I say its such a stone cold groove
To be part of something
So out of control.

I want to fall asleep in your arms
Before this nightmare is over.
Got to understand this dream
Before it fades away, before it fades away...

Dancing on the winds of asbestos,
One more fire on the tracks,
One more drunkard with a loaded gun -
Ain't it good to know this deck ain′t stacked?


We only have
All the time in the world.
Who's kidding who?
Watch the animals catch the next flight out,
Watch'em fly away, two by two.

I want to fall asleep in your arms
Before this nightmare is over
I′ve got to understand this dream
Before it fades away, before it fades away

There is a hole in the sky
Where tomorrow slips away;
Rainforest disappears
Like melting snow on a sunny day

And the glowing of all the television sets,
The final shining of the world,
Convincing us we will always be here -
Washing over us
Until the very last word.

I want to fall asleep in your arms
Before this nightmare is over
I′ve got to understand this dream
Before it fades away, before it fades away


I will try to put up some kind of fight
Against falling asleep
Before my time is due.
I'll call Her name
Through the long empty night.

She will not die before She knows my love was true.
She will not die before She knows my love was true...
