Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
Laughed with all his friends
And all the little men who borrow tunes
They heard just yesterdayDavey got us down but we got away
And drank to all the days
We had whiled away
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phaseThen the nightmares come and you get blown away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better dayThen the nightmares come and you get blown away
And up in your room your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaksStevie burned the sky when he flew away
And left us things to say
When all the world is falling down
Around our shoulders, cold and grayHarry carried on in his usual way
And Minnie went inside
He came out once and we both cried
And Minnie blew my head awayAnd then the nightmares come and you get blown away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better dayThen the nightmares come and you get blown away
And up in your room, your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaksWhen you're giving everything away
Everybody lets you pay
You're saving up for a better day
You're seeing things in a better wayWhen you know you've got to live
There's nothing you won't give
To hear the phone and not let it ring
Every Monday morningShughie found love and he almost cried
We laughed and wondered why
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over Stevie's planeBut then the nightmares come when your friends go away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better dayThen the nightmares come, you get blown away
And up in your room, your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaksThen the nightmares come
