Description
If I ever get the damned album finished (Excalybr and other stories) this one is slated as the second song, between Convergence and Wasted, with precious little space in between them.

Lyrics
Nightmares
Your mind leaves your body and
You pick up the contraband
Somehow you try to fly
Venus is floating by
Yet no one seems to care
Shouldn't they even stare?
But they don't seem to notice that
You're here in your underwear
Chorus
Nightmares
Affairs
Bugbears
Are everywhere
Threadbare
Backstair
Do you dare
Deny, your nightmares?
Only in your dreams
Does luck (love in 3rd chorus)
Come in thirteens
The first is a dragon then
The jesters come dancing in
You're caught in crossfire of
Something from up above
Over the rainbow lies
Nothing but compromise
Unconsciously the truth comes through
Much more than you realize
Chorus
You're under the water now
Yet no one is asking how
The rooms all just disappear,
Can't see the end from here
Champagne and caviar
Notions go on so far
And sweat soaks the nightgown
As you wait for the morning star
Chorus
Your mind leaves your body and
You pick up the contraband
Somehow you try to fly
Venus is floating by
Yet no one seems to care
Shouldn't they even stare?
But they don't seem to notice that
You're here in your underwear
Chorus
Nightmares
Affairs
Bugbears
Are everywhere
Threadbare
Backstair
Do you dare
Deny, your nightmares?
Only in your dreams
Does luck (love in 3rd chorus)
Come in thirteens
The first is a dragon then
The jesters come dancing in
You're caught in crossfire of
Something from up above
Over the rainbow lies
Nothing but compromise
Unconsciously the truth comes through
Much more than you realize
Chorus
You're under the water now
Yet no one is asking how
The rooms all just disappear,
Can't see the end from here
Champagne and caviar
Notions go on so far
And sweat soaks the nightgown
As you wait for the morning star
Chorus
A few off-pitch acoustic guitar notes in there, plus the
high git strings are sounding a little tinny and stress
fatigued (too much bouncing?). Voice and harmonies are
pretty cool and nicely contoured but a little lazy, I think.
Imagine your are Boris Karloff or Vincent Price as you sing
it...just a little more emphasis. You've achieved full
spectrum sound and a good stereo spread. Sweet electric
guitar...but that too is a little stress fractured from
bouncing.
