If you die in your dreams, you die for real Don't fall asleep Darkness strikes once again I'm all alone, it feels like the end He walks with me while I sleep It's like a heart attack on a one way street I can't sleep tonight 'Cause I gotta run, gotta hide And I'm running Running from this nightmare I turn around, but there's no one there And I'm running Running from this nightmare (running) Running from this nightmare One way out, not this time I've seen you before inside my mind My heart beats faster with every step I'm not afraid of you, you haven't gotten me yet I can't sleep tonight 'Cause I gotta run, gotta hide And I'm running Running from this nightmare I turn around, but there's no one there And I'm running Running from this nightmare (running) Running from this nightmare And now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take One two freddy's coming for you One two freddy's coming for you Three four better lock your door Five six grab your crucifix Seven eight gonna stay up late Nine ten never sleep again I'm your boyfriend now Nona! Running, running from this nightmare I turn around, but there's no one there And I'm running Running from this nightmare (running) Running from this nightmare Running from this nightmare Running from this nightmare
