Intro: G Am Em (x2)
Verse:
G Am Em
You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
Em
It's far too bright for you
G Am Em
If they attack you just lay there, play dead dear
Em
It's your only hope of pulling through
G Am Em
The seconds may seem like a lifetime, a dream recurring
Em
A dream that can't come true
G Am Em C
And they pin it all on you after all you've been put through
Chorus:
Em C G D
"Sadie G. she's crazy see?" That's what the whitecoats say
Em C G D
Now Ms Susan A., you're losing every opportunity to put us all away
G Am Em (x2)
Verse 2:
Now run along my little nightmare your job is done here
You scared 'em all to death
If they revive them just sit there
Just smile dear make them grateful for every breath
The sentence may seem like a lifetime of scream
That's curdling the blood they found on you
And your knives & clothing too
Charlie's broken .22
Chorus
and then...
Em C G D
Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way
Em C G D
But you bound and gagged you shot and stabbed you tried to set 'em free
But they've thrown away the key
G Em C D (x4)
G Em C D
Whoooooooooooooooa! (etc.)
Chorus chords (x2)
End on G

| It's a great song. Trio's long time merch girl Heather Hannoura reads Sadie's little confession thing during the bridge. | |

| That's what the insert of the Promo says: You’re on your own my little nightmare, you cannot stay here It’s far too bright for you. If they attack you just lay there, Play dead dear, it’s your only hope of pulling through. And seconds they seem like a lifetime. A dream, recurring, a dream that can’t come true. And they’ll pin it all on you after all you’ve been put through. “Sadie G. She’s crazy, see?” that’s what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. you’re losing every opportunity to put us all away. You’re on your own my little nightmare. Your job is done here. You’ve scared them all to death. If they revive them just sit here. Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath. This sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling The blood they found on you. And your knives and clothing too. Charlie’s broken .22 Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way That you bound and gagged. You shot and stabbed.

| Yeah, at the moment it's my favourite on the split too! Although I usaully go through "phases" of liking different tracks all the time, it took me two or three listens of the split to decide that I liked it (but the same can be said for Good Mouring and Maybe I'll catch Fire)!!! Anyways, yeah, this song is definately about Manson and his "family". Susan Atkins, whose testimony is read by Heather Hannoura (long time Trio "designer") during the song, is what the song is about. There's reference to the man himself too: "Charlie’s broken .22". It's interesting reading (if a bit disturbing) if you want to go into it!!! Matt truly is a modern day punk rock poet!!! | |

| the version on Crimson is definitely better I think. Also, the quote at the end where Sadie is supposed to be talking is different. | |

| The lyrics are wrong at top, the correct lyrics are: You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here It's far too bright for you If they attack you just lay there, Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through. And seconds they seem like a lifetime. A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true. And they'll pin it all on you after all you've been put through. "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. is losing every opportunity to put us all away. Go run along my little nightmare. Your job is done here. You've scared them all to death. If they revive them just sit there. Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath. The sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you. And your knives and clothing too. Charlie's broken .22 "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. is losing every opportunity. Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged. You've shot and stab. You tried to set them free, but they've thrown away the keys. "I think that if I found a god to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him. I'd do anything for god. Even murder, if I believed it was god, how could it not be right? Because he said it was. I have no remorse for the killer inside of me, I have no guilt in me" Whoa [x4] | |
