Lyrics
LIVING THE NIGHTMARE
JAMIE WAS A PUNK WHO STOLE EVERYTHING
LEFT HIS FAMILY WHILE UNDER THE DRINK
BROKEN BY A CRUEL AND VICIOUS LIFE
BUT IF HE WAS YOUR FRIEND, HE'D GIVE YOU HIS HEART
NOW WITH WINTER FAST APPROACHING,
ON HIS BIRTHDAY
NOW WITH WINTER FAST APPROACHING
LIKE AN UNSOPHISTICATED TRASH SPEAKING VARMINT
URBANE, JADDED, WORLD WARRY, AND BRITTLE
MADE TOO MANY ENEMIES TO SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD
SO HE KEEPS ON RUNNING FROM WITH IN
NOW WITH WINTER FAST APPROACHING,
ON HIS BIRTHDAY
NOW WITH WINTER FAST APPROACHING
LIVING IN THE NIGHTMARE
SOLO-FLUTE
JAMIE HAD A PAST WITH BREAKING THE LAW
SAID HE TOOK WHAT HE NEEDED
COULDN'T CARE WHAT YOU THOUGHT
SO BEATEN BY A WICKED VICIOUS LIFE
IT'S WHAT HE FINDS REAL THAT HELPS HIM SURVIVE
NOW WITH WINTER FAST APPROACHING,
ON HIS BIRTHDAY
NOW WITH WINTER FAST APPROACHING
