Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
In the end
You sink or swim
I'm eager
I'm eager
[Verse 3]
Love them, oh love them, come on now
Socially biting your tongue now
Run-down, oh run-down, old houses
Feeding the cats to the mouses
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Rob them and give them star prizes
Lock them away in high rises
Held up and called on by truncheons
Rattling keys to the dungeons
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Lord, take me over
I bid you all farewell
I've got to leave
A tent on my shoulder
Switch me on today
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Lord, take me over
I bid you all farewell
I've got to leave
