Testo Nightmares - Josh Ritter
Testo della canzone Nightmares (Josh Ritter), tratta dall'album The Beast in Its Tracks
I know where the nightmares sleep
On what fodder do they feed?
For two long weeks I stayed awake
Until I saw one cross your face
I knew that you had been untrue
I didn't know how, but I knew
That who you spoke to in your dreams
Was never how you spoke to me
Now I know where the nightmares sleep
On what fodder do they feed?
I followed them back down to hell
And I spent some time down there myself
Nightmares have their dreams as well
When they sleep, they go to hell
And they drink their fill on lakes of blood
And cantor cross the skull pavement
And nurse their little colts on flies
Their coltish teeth like kitchen knives
And look down from abysmal cliffs
Their dead hair by the lead wind drift
Are denizens too deep to see
Whose own dreams nightmares' nightmares be
I know where the nightmares sleep
On what fodder do they feed?
I'd been awake so long by then
They thought that I was one of them
Nightmares cannot be ribcaged
Midnight's just a steeplechase
Down silver needles half will go
Pin your navel to your soul
And the other half will go instead
And gallop cross the kicked up bed
And find the one who's sleeping sound
And drag him down, drag him down
Drag him down, oh, drag him down
Drag him down, oh, drag him down
Drag him down, oh, drag him down
Drag him down where I got took
Though he may not want to look
I'll sipped hell for unequal pain
Shod worn beetles' boiling rain
I'll prop his eyes and down them feed
The same hell he first fed to me
Now I know where the nightmares sleep
On what fodder do they feed?
I followed one back down to hell
And I spent some time down there myself
I know where the nightmares sleep
I know where the nightmares sleep
I know where the nightmares sleep
I know where the nightmares sleep
I know where the nightmares sleep
I know where the nightmares sleep
