The Nightmare Returns

Alice Cooper

I'm a little tired and feeling hazy
I just need to rest my eyes
But I won't go to sleep because it's crazy
What happens to me in the night
'Cause when I go to deep into my slumber
Ugly faces, awful places I don't want to go, no

"All aboard, watch your step people
Last call for the nightmare express
I found myself slipping away
Just this side of dead
I woke up in a box car
I wasn't in my bed

I found my leg chained to a spike
That ran down through the floor
Attached to thirteen angry men
All rotten to the core
But I'm innocent I cried right out
I'm in someone else's dream

They looked around and laughed out loud
Said, "Brother, so are we"
"Yeah brother, so are we"
But I'm a big celebrity
Known all round the land
"Well buddy you ain't no one here
Man, you ain't in demand"

Speeding towards a flaming wall
Like a screaming sonic boom
I really gotta wake up now
Or I may meet my doom oh lord,
I may meet my doom
So all that I remember

Is how much my body hurt
Now I'm sleeping in the graveyard
On the wrong side of the dirt
Yeah I'm on the wrong side of the dirt
Wrong side of the dirt, don`t you know
I'm on the wrong side of the dirt
