Living Bad Dreams Lyrics

I'm hypnotized and helpless
Beneath the pale full moon
My body is your sacrifice
Your spirit's coming soon
I stare up at a squalid night
It's been so cold and smooth
Turns tender kisses into bites
As you begin to move

You look so weak and fragile
You seem to drip and sway
But you swept me up into your arms
And carried me away

I'm living bad dreams
I can't run from you
I'm living bad dreams
This nightmare's coming true

You led me to temptation
Delivered me to pain
I walked upon your hallowed ground
My soul is yours to gain

Your passion drains my energy
Fear starts running deep
I'm falling in slow motion
Into eternal sleep

I'm living bad dreams
I can't run from you
I'm living bad dreams
This nightmare's coming true

Passion drains my energy
Fear starts running deep
Falling in slow motion
Into eternal sleep
I'm living bad dreams

I can't run from you
I'm living bad dreams
There's nothing I can do

I'm living bad dreams
I can't run from you
I'm living bad dreams
This nightmare's coming true

I'm living bad dreams
Oh, oh, ooh
I don't want bad dreams
Living bad dreams
