Penny Dreadfuls

Before I met you

Kittens were singin' in the trees

And mermaids were ticklin' my knees

And life was a lovey larp

Before I met you

Angels were feedin' me cherry pies

Until you opened up my eyes to things most dark

Now when I try to sleep at night I think of

Penny Dreadfuls and

Many headfuls of nasty evil things

And I clutch my pillow tight

But a power beyond my bed pulls me to places where I ruminate

On nasty evil things

And I try and try to clear my mind

But I find my minds been intertwined

With gory thoughts and there's nothing I can do

When I try to sleep at night I think of

Penny Dreadfuls and it's all because of you

Before I met you

I'd never dropped or popped no pills

I wasn't all hopped up on chills

And life was stars and dreams

Sometimes I'd like to

Go back to the way it used to be

But then you take a hold of me and

I need to smell those scars and hear those screams

Now when I try to sleep at night I think of

Penny Dreadfuls and

Many headfuls of nasty evil things

And I clutch my pillow tight

But a power beyond my bed pulls me to places where I ruminate

On nasty evil things

And I try and try to clear my mind

But I find my minds been intertwined

With gory thoughts and there's nothing I can do

When I try to sleep at night I think of

Penny Dreadfuls and it's all because of you

And ooh ooh ooh I didn't know what I was missin'!

And ooh ooh ooh that wasn't nothin' I was missin'!

Now when I try to sleep at night I think of

Penny Dreadfuls and

Many headfuls of nasty evil things

And I clutch my pillow tight

But a power beyond my bed pulls me to places where I ruminate

On nasty evil things

And I try and try to clear my mind

But I find my minds been intertwined

With gory thoughts and there's nothing I can do
