[Verse 1]
Take my rod down to the sea
And then catch some fish for you and me
There's a black cloud that swirls above the bay
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Rise up and please don't wake the crew
Fetch a lifeboat just for me and you
There's an ill wind that blows across this day
Like a bad dream that never goes away

[Chorus]
Michael, Peter, Mark and John
Please forgive me for I have done you wrong
I sense evil, I feel it here today
Like a bad dream that never goes away
It's a clear, bright and harsh October sun
Lights me up so I've nowhere left to run
I feel scared I have so much debt to pay
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Like a bad dream that never goes away

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Michael, Peter, Mark and John
Please forgive me for I have done you wrong
I sense evil, I feel it here today
Like a bad dream that never goes away
It's a clear, bright and harsh October sun
Lights me up so I've nowhere left to run
I feel scared I have so much debt to pay
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Like a bad dream that never goes away
[Outro]
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Like a bad dream that never goes away
Like a bad dream that never goes away
