TWISTED DREAMS

Words and music by Winston Apple
You hear the window breaking, see guerillas in fatigues
They've got hand grenades and guns 
   with bayonets shining in the flashlight beams
And as you're fading into neon, 
   I know you're dying to come clean
Well, there's nothing to be ashamed of honey, 
   it's just another twister
You keep having these twisted dreams..
And I think I know what they mean

I dreamed I saw the Seven Sisters, 
   playing five-card stud last night
Dividing up the markets, yes, and jacking up the price
We all tried so hard to stop them, 
   I woke up, I heard you scream
I said, "It's all right, it's the middle of the night 
   and it's just another twister
You keep having these twisted dreams
You keep having `em (twisted dreams)
I keep having `em (twisted dreams)
And I think you know what they mean

Twisted dreams, twisted dreams..

Dresden's holding kings and aces, 
   but he's going down in flames tonight
He started squealing on the Seven Sisters, 
   now he's nowhere in sight
I've got nothing to lose, 
   you've got armored cars and limousines 
I've got the sugar blues 
   and I keep having these twisted dreams 

I keep having `em (twisted dreams)
You keep having `em (twisted dreams)
We keep having `em (twisted dreams)
And I think I know what they mean

Get out your brown shirt, learn the goose step, 
   you better not get out of step 
When you're walking a tight rope without a safety net
You can't forget that every heart conceals a secret, 
   nothing's ever what it seems
Everybody's had a restless night
Everybody's had a twister, a twister
Twisted dreams..

Ever since you were a little girl, 
   you've been having the same old dream
And now at last your dream's come true, 
   you're a star of the silver screen 
And as you're waiting in the limo, 
   all your fans begin to scream
And then you realize it's all coming from the inside
It's just a twister 
Twisted dreams..
