Walter de la Nightmare Lyrics
[Verse]
Of all the hearts broken
I left behind
At least thirteen of them are mine
I'm becoming more desperate
With each new moon
I am the lunatic, I am an instamatic
Heading for the last chance to live
[Chorus]
Can you picture me there?
Is this the place you warned me of
In the grip of despair?
And can you picture me there?
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a bang on landscape
With a burnt-out tree
And where the lightning struck not once, not twice
More like repeatedly
[Chorus]
And can you picture me there?
I am the Walter de la Nightmare
From Little Heart on Sampler #3
Can you picture me there?
I am the lunatic, I am a node lymphatic
An eventuality
And can you picture me there?
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a bang on landscape
With a burnt-out tree
And where the lightning struck not once, not twice
More like repeatedly
[Chorus]
And can you picture me there?
I am the Walter de la Nightmare
From Little Heart on Sampler #3
And can you picture me there?
I am a lunatic, I am a node lymphatic
An eventuality
And can you picture me there?
Is this the place you warned me of
In the grip of despair?
And can you picture me there?
And why won't you speak to me?
