Scratchin' My Way Out - The Sharks

Woke up this morning in a cold sweat

One of those nightmares I sometimes get

I was in a coffin six feet underground

Shouting for help, but no-one hears a sound

I’m scratching my way out

Going mad I scream and shout

What’s this all about?

I’m going mad, so come and let me out

Splinters in my fingernails, pennies in my eyes

My heart’s still beating so I know that I’m alive

What’s going on, my mind full of dread

Left in a coffin mistaken for dead

These spooky nightmares scare me half to death

I’m shut away, I can’t take my breath

I must escape to see the light of day

'Cause if I don’t then I’ll rot away

At last I wake, it’s quiet once more

Was it a dream, well I’m not so sure

Open my eyes, my God it’s true

With all that practise I know what to do
