[Verse]
I dreamed I was an angel that fell into disgrace
My wings came off and left me and I flew out into space
The darkness had no bottom, through emptiness I fell
My face began to laugh at me and then I heard it yell
[Chorus]
Nightmare
Villains and meanies tracking me down
Nightmare
Devils and genies floating around
Nightmare
Witches and goblins walking on air
Nightmare
[Verse]
I found a bush of goldfish in a hothouse packed with ice
My pockets couldn’t hold them, so I traded them for mice
The mice turned into rabbits and then to kangaroos
They auctioned off my union suit to pay my union dues
[Chorus]
Nightmare
Villains and meanies tracking me down
Nightmare
Devils and genies floating around
Nightmare
Witches and goblins walking on air
Nightmare
[Verse]
A space patrolman caught me and took me to the moon
But I flew back to nature on a two-bit toy balloon
I landed in the ocean, right on a buttercup
And lived on pickled herring until someone woke me up
[Chorus]
Nightmare
Villains and meanies tracking me down
Nightmare
Devils and genies floating around
Nightmare
Witches and goblins walking on air
Nightmare
