Anthrax (powerballad version)

There's anthrax in the envelope I opened in my dream

The sky is red, and little kids are running, screaming in the street

I tried to run and save them, but I had molasses feet

I keep having nightmares, and I'm scared to go to sleep

If you fall in, I'll jump down

And touch your face while we're both sinking, stinking, thinking

We won't drown

You are my friend

And what we're doing's too important

For our lives to end quite yet

In Montreal, I got so mad, someone broke into the van

Stole my guitar and Aaron's bag

Then we turned on CNN, watched the towers fall again

And realized that our lives aren't so bad

This is just a test, take it with love and you will pass

You will be rewarded if you do your very best

Nothing ever goes as planned, so don't take anything for granted

If you do, the world will kick your ass

The air is filled with computers and carpets

Skin and bones and telephones and file cabinets

Coke machines, firemen, landing gear and cement

They say that it's okay, but I say don't breathe in

The air is filled with computers and carpets

Skin and bones and telephones and file cabinets

Coke machines, firemen, landing gear and cement

They say that it's okay, but I say don't breathe that shit in

An angel named Gabriel is watching over you

He was a friend mistreated, now he's dead so say you're sorry to him

When you say your prayers tonight if you make amends

The gates to heaven here on earth will open up again

If you fall in I'll jump down

And touch your face while we're both sinking

We won't drown

You are my friend

And what we're doing's too important

For our lives to end quite yet
