Nightmares, oh nightmares
Come on now
Getting my days all wrong now
Risen from prison, an outlaw
Spending our time in the lion’s jaw
In the end you sink or swim
I’m evil, an eagle

Love them or loathe them
Come on now
Socially biting your tongue now
Run down, oh run down old houses
Feeding the cats to the mouses

Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Gotta get us out of here

Bribe them and give them star prizes
Lock them away in high rises
Held up and called on by truncheons
Rattling keys to the dungeons

Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Gotta get us out of here

Love take me over
I bid you all farewell
I’ve got to leave
Tears on my shoulder
Switch me off today

Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Gotta get us out of here

Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh, take aim now
Oh, take aim now
Gotta get us out of here

Love take me over
I bid you all farewell
I’ve got to leave
Tears on my shoulder
Switch me off today
