The Green Pajamas

Blue Eyes To Haunt Me

I feel the cold creeping in
Like a needle going under my skin
Like the skin under the nails
Of little hands all frozen and pail

I feel sick inside
The dark is falling and there's nowhere to hide
And there's a crack in my heart
And the night is gonny break it apart

There's no blood to leave a stain
just cold panic rushing through my veins
Bad dreams and bad weather
And Blue eyes to haunt me forever


The shore is hard, the river's gray
I want to walk in and just go away
Wash away this girl
And all the horror that lives in this world

I feel the pain, I feel the guilt
for a coffin that I never built
For the red of the moon
That's come bleeding into this room

There's no blood to leave a stain
just cold panic rushing through my veins
Bad dreams and bad weather
And Blue eyes to haunt me forever
