Hey, did you hear that, the creeking of the floor
now the clock turns to midnight and you’re shivering and scared
Hey, did you see that, the shape behind your window
is it a ghost or reflection can you tell it for sure?
Count to three snap your fingers and believe
but you’ll see there’s no way to make the bad dreams disappear
And if you dare you bend under your bed
when you chek it out there’s no one there, maybe it just left
You wander in your mind to find happy dreams
but there’s a monster behind every door
See the prison gates opening, murderers wandering
Shaking and sweating all the lights on
and you try not to close your eyes
‘cause the pain of losing love-ones feels so real
and you don’t know if you’re awake or asleep
Look there’s no stars in the open black sky
not a square millimeter of light in infinite dark
And see who’s here, it’s the stranger from your dreams
waving and smilinig, coming to you
You wander in your mind to find happy dreams...
Gargoyles, black unicorns and men with green uniforms
weapons of mass-destruction in reach of all nations
Knossos Palace’s minotaurs and lion-headed manticores
marching through your imagination to bring the devastation
You wander in your mind to find happy dreams...
