Deadliner — текст песни (Gary Numan)

So I close my eyes and drift into sleep,
But something is here,
In the dark, in the dream.
Like a cruel wind clutching my heart,
I feel more than I see,
Like a clue to a nightmare that I can`t believe.
Then it touches me and I try to scream,
And a thought tears me inside.
And I will do anything,
Anything, you understand?
Just to wake up.

Sometimes it almost makes me cry.
Sometimes it seems to call my name out loud.
Sometimes it feels like I`m alone
And then it comes for me again.


I`m told it`s called the un-reality dream.
I`m told it`s called the great American lie.
I`m told that this is like the vengeance of God.
I can`t believe that God would do this to me.


I`ve known fear many times, but nothing like this.
I`m so scared I can`t breathe.
I know I`m asleep, but I know this is real,
And no one can help me here.
I`m deep inside something, and I may never come back,
And then it was gone,
And then I realised that the rush brought it in,
And I will never sleep alone again.


Sometimes it almost breaks my heart.
Sometimes I swear I hear it laugh at me.
Sometimes it feels like I could die
And then it leaves my dreams again.


Feels like I`m fighting the possession of my soul.
I`m told that this is called the sickness of need.
I`ve got to cut the sex connection and slide
A word of warning to the weary and wise.
