Ghost Lee Waters - Bad Dream Blues

Woke up this mornin’, but I swear I never rose. Yeah, woke up this mornin’, but I swear I never rose. Feels like I’m walkin’ through shadows where the whole damn world froze. Streetlights flicker sideways, faces melt into the haze. Yeah, streetlights flicker sideways, faces melt into the haze. Feels like I’m trapped in a story someone rewrites every day. Got them bad dream blues, can’t wake up, can’t fall through. Got them bad dream blues, sky’s too dark to shine on through. Feels like the night’s got hands pullin’ me in two. Every road I follow twists back where I came. Yeah, every road I follow twists back where I came. Feels like I’m runnin’ from thunder that keeps callin’ my name. Clock won’t move, mirror won’t show, I blink, but the world don’t let go. Can’t trust the ground, can’t trust the air, dream or nightmare, I’m still stuck there. Got them bad dream blues, livin’ sleep I can’t undo. Yeah, them bad dream blues, like a shadow stitched to truth. If this is life, Lord, I’m scared to see it through.
