about

This song describes a real nightmare I had where I had sleep paralysis.

lyrics

It started in a modest one bedroom apartment
I don't recollect how we got in
but we decided to stay the night
we'd heard the tenants had run off so sudden
something inherently rotten
had left them all terrified.
So we decided to give it a try
my beautiful baby and I.

Darkness filled up the windows like curtains
"there's somebody in here I'm certain" she said
I could feel him but i couldn't see a thing.
Then it hit me
an invisible hand just took me
it gripped and it grabbed and it shook me
and I flew across the room.
I flew across the room!

What a trip
what a thrill
what excitement
come on man hit me again i can take this
i 'aint frightened of you
and we stood there still
in the silence
holding our breath
what's next on the menu?
Let's see what this spectre can do

"let's simmer down" sweet sensible said
"I'm taking a shower lay down on the bed"
"we're making him angry, we're getting him mad
and we're messing with something we don't understand.
Better not get too crazy."
so I lay there impatiently waiting

Suddenly dozens of tiny icicle hands
gripped my hips and my arms and my feet
and I'm stunned I'm paralysed
pinned to the bed
my lips went dead and my hearts just beating like crazy.
But then my body starts spinning at exceptional speeds
and I see you beside me begging the question
"What's wrong baby?"
"What can I do?"
But my mouth wont move and I'm trying to scream out
"Wake me up!"
"Wake me up!"
"Wake me up!"
