Nightmares Lyrics by The Creation

We Are Paintermen

1967

[Verse 1]
Faces, places moving 'round your mind
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Ideas come cruel, ideas come kind
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Lying in a state of constant confusion
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
And your brain has suffered an illusion
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

[Chorus]
(Nightmares) Come into being
(Nightmares) Things you're seeing
(Nightmares) Around your head
(Nightmares) Lay in bed

[Verse 2]
Images shifting before your eyes
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Mis-tended bodies reach to the skies
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Whining noises inside your head
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Limbs are broken, you wish you were dead
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

[Chorus]
(Nightmares) Come into being
(Nightmares) Things you're seeing
(Nightmares) Around your head
(Nightmares) Lay in bed

[Verse 3]
Touched on the brow by unseen hands
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Petrified to where you stand
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Death comes never a shedding tear
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Wake up shouting, sweating with fear
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

[Chorus]
(Nightmares) Come into being
(Nightmares) Things you're seeing
(Nightmares) Around your head
(Nightmares) Wish you were dead
