A hot summer night
|
I was in my bed
|
I coudn't sleep a wink
|
Just laid awake instead
|
I slipped out the sheets careful not to wake her up
|
Insomniac restless got me shaken up
|
I walked down the hall way and out the front door
|
Took a seat on the steps of my front porch
|
The rain was cooling bouncing heavy off that concrete
|
Lightning lit the sky and thunder crashed around me
|
I saw a man on the corner in the pouring rain
|
I'm thinking homeless, hopeless or just insane
|
I called out to him sir can I help you
|
No reply he was motionless, statue,
|
I started walking down the sidewalk to approach him
|
Dressed in black and he stood taller than most men,
|
His trench coat stood still though the wind blows
|
Dejavue premanitions inuendos
|
The car passing by
|
The headlights lit his face
|
Knew you from somewhere, somebody, some place,
|
I seen you before at the hospital
|
My family was crying you were smiling when you passed us all
|
My uncle died that night
|
And now I'm looking back
|
There was a thunder storm yeah and you were dressed in black
|
Vivid the thoughts and memories come to light, come to think about it
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I realize all the time it was you
|
Only christ it can save you from
|
If it's a nightmare waiting for
|
What can I do that will save me from
|
I realize all the time it was you
|
Only christ it can save you from
|
If it's a nightmare waiting for
|
What can I do that will save me from
|
|
I looked into his eyes and I saw geneside
|
I seen world wars and mass suicides,
|
I saw my father cheat on my mother with another,
|
I saw my mother cheat on my father with his brother
|
I witnessed every evil deed that I've ever done
|
I saw jesus crusify gods only son
|
I heard screaming victims
|
Plagued with disease and I
|
I smelled the toxins from the
|
Air that we breathe and I
|
It sounds farfetched but you,
|
You must believe that we
|
Will self-destruct as a
|
Result of greed
|
|
See I've been watching you
|
And I know everything that you do
|
Where your families at places that you go
|
Every number you dial and every attempt that you make to get away from me is futile
|
So you can't sleep or eat without me nightmares about me, you doubt me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
