This track was a result of seeing the video for "A New Beginning" by Wolfie's Just Fine; In which John recounts seeing "Friday the 13th: A new beginning" as a child. We wanted to show how seeing "A Nightmare On Elm Street" also shaped our love of the horror genre, when we saw it for the first time as children.
lyrics
Halloween of '86
I had to stay home cause I was sick
I thought it was the end of the world
My mother wasn't concerned
So I started watching TV
I met this girl named Nancy
She had flowers in her hair
and as she walked by I sat and stared
And looked on from a distance
as her reality shifted
all the colours turned from blue to gray
that's when I heard her say
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody else, I'm really scared
I want to go to sleep
So I thought to myself
maybe I should get some help
so I went and told my Mom
She said that nothing was wrong
But the memory lingers
he had knives for fingers
as he drew them through her head
I swear to God he said
Is there anybody out there
anybody else who's really scared?
I want you to all sleep
'cause every town has an Elm Street
But the memory lingers
he had knives for fingers
as he drew them through her head
I swear to God he said
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody else, that's really scared
I want to go to sleep
but I live on Elm Street
