BAD DREAMS

BAD DREAMS
　
Bad dreams when you were a kid
Went on ages, help you!
Probably driven by the id
Help you all! Wake you up!
　
Witches, ghosts and empty streets
Shone so lurid, help you!
Piracy in ceaseless fleets
Help you all! Wake you up!
　
Mum and Dad not knowing you
So convincing, help you!
Ordeals you keep going through
Help you all! Bring you round.
　
Dreams you’d dreamt then woke to tell
Then you realised, help you!
You were still in nightmare hell
Help you all! Wake you up!
　
Episodic themes of fear
Bad as soaps? Help you!
Then came the adolescent years
And swapped your mind for mindless balls!
Oh help me! Wake me up!
