Saturday Nightmares

the door was not locked so i went on inside

i had been there before and i knew that i was out on thin ice

i was meeting someone but no one showed up and when trouble came by i tried to find a friendly face in the night

but whoever i was looking for was nowhere in sight

i chose sides

i lost the fight

whatever happened to saturday night?

it was dark like december and the sun was on the run

staggering through the streets and my fear i tried to make my escape

i lay down on the pavement, tried to rest my head

but i woke up from one nightmare to another full of words i'd never heard

i believe they were my friends but then i saw them as ghosts and now i wonder if maybe those ghosts had been mine all the time

though i think there was a reason for my actions, who knows?

tonight i've got a reason and the reason is it's saturday night

now I see the reason why

now i see

i see the reason why - i've got a ghost that i can't escape

a gloved hand in the night

you're my misguiding light

you are the ghost that i can't escape
