[Intro]


[Verse 1]

Chasing shadows, over my walls

With myself hardly sleeping

Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall

Fill the room with their creeping, oh


[Verse 2]

Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears

Then they fade into nothing

Someone's laughter out in the street

Fills the night with their loving


[Chorus]

I feel the ice in my head

Running its hands through my bed

Not even dreaming, I seem to be dead

Colours of yellow and colours of red


[Verse 3]

All I'm asking, some secret voice

Is to lead me to darkness

I'm so tired, dawn never comes

I just lie in the shadows


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 4]

All I'm asking, some secret voice

Is to lead me to darkness

I'm so tired, dawn never comes

I just lie in the shadows


[Chorus]

I feel the ice in my head

Running its hands through my bed

Not even dreaming, I seem to be dead

Colours of yellow and colours of red


[Organ Solo]
