Lyrics

In my sleep
In my sleep last night

In my dream
In my dream last night

In the dark
In the dark last night

In the hall
Walked richard speck last night

[Going back. going way back. rewind. chichichichichichi. going way back to 1966
My mother was talking with her sister about some nurses who were murdered up in
Seattle late in the night. her description of these murders was vivid, and she
Accurately identified with the fear that the surviving must have felt, all curled
Up underneath that bed listening to her friends get killed one at a time. waiting
For the moment she too would be discovered and disposed of

Hence, in my overcrowded childhood mind, these murders played out time and time again
Like a sickly off-broadway production that keeps getting revived. and so, sometimes in
My dreams, richard speck walks the hall at night.]
