Nightmare In A Straight Jacket
Wanted posters of a man are
scattered all over the streets
people can cash in on his capture
but they won't get a receipt
see he's an imaginary figment that poses
no threat of physical harm
he's behind the doors of your eyelids
waiting ready and armed
he has broken free of the restraints of
his straight jacket to which he was confined
now he possesses pistols locked and loaded
wanting to commit acts of homicide to pass the time
the soul of a stone cold killer is what
his personality clearly defines
the hatred in his eyes was
apparently a sign ya see
he never knew a life
other than one of crime
to the consequences and harsh realities
he was unfortunately blind
to him a human body was a punching bag
for the bullets of his mind in reaction a smile
upon his face is what you'll find
to the others of his kind his reasons
for doing this were subliminal
but that's just how it is when
you live the life of a criminal[/font][/font]
