Arabian Nights
Lyrics by Sarah and BJ
Music by BJ, Sarah and Chelsea

My rapid eye movement prompts the first of my screams,
You are cordially invited to my harlequin dreams.
Last night I married it was you and I knew,
And as I stood at my own funeral I had died that night too.
Sometimes I dream and in my dreams I am dead,
And if I open up my eyes there'll be a ghost in my bed.
I often go on holiday and where I don't care,
But I always seem to wake up long before I am there.

It's a nightmare I wake up I'm already there ...

My rapid eye movement prompts the first of my screams,
You are cordially invited to my harlequin dreams.
A gypsy tries to frighten me,
I'm listening aghast,
When a llama comes and sits by me to tell me his past.
My voyages can take hours many journeys will blend,
But they only take two minutes from beginning to end.
A rocking horse transports me fast across a blue sea,
I tell you Alice in her Wonderland's got nothing on me.

It's a nightmare I wake up I'm already there ...

Now you're cursing your hand like a sailor,
And I'm turning my head to the shore.
And the treacherous water engulfs us,
And I feel ... It all keeps slipping away. It all keeps slipping away.

The shrill of breathing wakes me,
Like the panic of the chase from the enemy,
The shrill of breathing wakes me,
Like the venom sink the teeth press gently,
The shrill of breathing wakes me,
Like a million mirror shards trying to stab me,
The shrill of breathing wakes me,
The shrill of breathing wakes me up.
