02 Dead man's dream       From "Home" composed by Brooker-Reid 

intro:
              

                                       
As I lay down dying,   a floor for my bed  
                                   
And a bundle of newspaper under my head  
                             /
I dreamed a dream, as strange as could be  
     /                  bass:         
Concerning myself,  and somebody like me  

        ,,

                                  
We were in some city,   the stranger and me  
                                      
The houses were open, and the streets empty  
                     /                
The windows were bare, and the pavements dirty  
F#o                              (Bass ,,,)
I asked where I was;    my companion ignored me  

    

                        /
We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone  
                                          
The graves were disturbed, and the coffins wide open  
                          /                    
And the corpses were rotten,   yet each one was living  
                                               
Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling  

                 /   
I cried out in fear,       but my voice had left me  
                  
My legs were deformed,              yet I moved quite freely  
             bass(,,,,,) /                           
 My head was on fire,                  yet my hands were icy  

Bass:,,,,,,,

                                                
And everywhere light, yet darkness engulfed me  

  

solo on:            

                                 
I managed to scream and woke from my slumber  
                                           
I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered  
                              
Where had I been? What could it mean?  
               
It was dark in the deathroom 

as I slithered under
