Lyrics Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper

The Nightmare Returns

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
