ALICE COOPER LYRICS

1. Paranormal

[feat. Roger Glover]

I'm condemned to the long endless night
And I live in the absense of light
And my shadow has a life of its own
Watching you while you sleep all alone

When the night is all cool, skin and bones
And you lie wrapped in sheets on your own
There's a ring on your dead telephone
Don't be scared when there's nobody home

Like a spider web kiss on your face
That familiar smell just a trace
That's my scent that I left on your lace
So you're never alone
No you're never alone

I'm condemned to the long endless night
And I live in the absense of light

2. Dead Flies

Please, watch your step, dear
The world is out to beat you
Don't you know there's cannibals
Designed to kill and eat you

You sister's high on angel dust
And so's your porno brother
And your phone know's more about you
Than your daddy or your mother

They'll drive you to the edge
And they'll leave you to die
Infected by the venom of their vicious, viral lies
It's all lies
We're dead flies

Priests and Parriahs
Disguised as holy guru
Practicing their montra
Of some cybernetic voodoo

And their's always a messiah
Preaching mass disaster
Claiming that their Jesus or Illuminati matters

They'll drive you to the edge
And they'll leave you to die
Infected by the venom of their vicious, viral lies
It's all lies
We're dead flies

It's all lies
We're dead flies

They're gonna need your money
To relieve you of your stessing
They'll take your wealth and fame
In exchange for the blessing

And they'll kill you with their gospel
Full of psycho-babble vomit
When they make you drink the Kool-Aid
And you ride off on that comet

It's all lies
We're dead flies

3. Fireball

On a dark, desert night
Look into the sky, something ain't right
A fireball, red and grey

People start to look, frozen in fear
A man grabs a woman, draws her near
They fall to their knees and pray

All mighty God... Is it today?
Fireball, in the sky
Fireball, in the sky

Hey, little boy with a cowboy gun
His mom picks him up, he starts to run
He laughs out loud, he thinks it's a game

The alarm goes off in the liquor store
The trucks roll by with a thunderous roar
It fell from the sky, a silver rain

All mighty God... The city's in flames

(All man alive - Can we survive?)

My alarm goes off, I'm shaking with fright
Blood runs cold, teeth clench tight
But it's alright now, It's only a dream

Well I go to the window, lean on the sill
The night is hot, and all is still
There's a blinding flash and now it's real

All mighty God... We died today
Fireball, in the sky
Fireball, in the sky...

4. Paranoiac Personality

Everybody's got something hiding in the back of their mind
Everybody's got something up their sleeve, yeah
Everybody's got tangled wired tight as they can wind
And all of them trying to strangle me, yeah

I'm smelling a conspiracy
Telling lies about me constantly
They follow me, I see them there, don't they know
That feeds my paranoiac personality

Everybody's got vicious rumors dripping off of their tongue
Everybody can't wait to see me run, yeah
Everybody's got loaded stories, and I know for a fact
Everybody sees the bulls-eye on my back, yeah

I'm smelling a conspiracy
Telling lies about me constantly
They're stalking me, I see you there
Don't you know, that feeds my paranoiac personality

I'm smelling a conspiracy
They're telling lies about me constantly
They point at me, they stop and star, don't they know
They feed my paranoiac personality

My personoiac paranality
Paranoiac personality

5. Fallen In Love

I was a tall cool cat and I was on my own
Calling girlie after girl on my telephone
Then she stopped me in my tracks with those coal-black eyes
She put me on my back, I was paralyzed

My baby's love is hard, my baby's love is tough
If I were anybody else I'd o' had enough
'Cause she treats me like a dawg, not a cute little pup
But I've fallen in love and I can't get up!

Get up
Fallen in love
And I can't get up
Fallen in love

I was a billion-dollar baby in a diamond dress
Now I'm a dirty desperado and a steaming mess
She drive me nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof
She's like a dirty cup of poison that I can't refuse

My baby's love is hard, my baby's love is tough
If I were anybody else I'd o' had enough
I mean I used to be a stud now I'm a powder puff
'Cause I've fallen in love and I can't get up!

Get up
Fallen in love
And I can't get up
Fallen in love

Now I'm laying on the floor, I'm a broken mess
Somebody rescue me, I'm in distress
I need an S.O.S.

My baby's love is hard, my baby's love is tough
If I were anybody else I'd o' had enough
'Cause she treats me like a dawg, not a cute little pup
But I've fallen in love and I can't get up!

Get up
Fallen in love
And I can't get up
Fallen in love

6. Dynamite Road

Yeah, life is just a party, man, we're looking for a thrill
We got rock 'n' roll and Detroit soul and plenty of blood to spill
My life is cruisin' with my band man in my tricked out Cadillac
We're always looking death right in the eye and never looking back

See the night is full of nitro and we just might explode
'Cause we're running like the devil up on dynamite road

For the moon is makin' trouble, man, and the road is dark and long
Hell, we're all seeing double and we know nothing could go wrong
Hey, there's a limo full of party girls and a pick-up full of goons
All fuels with hearts of perfidy, alcohol and Skynyrd tunes
My car is breathin' hot and heavy, man, with a viscous evil growl
It's enough to wake the devil, man, it's enough to make him howl

See the night is full of nitro and we just might explode
'Cause we're running like the devil up on dynamite road

I woke up chokin' at the smell of burnin' hair and gasoline
Twisted chrome, melted glass and broken bodies at the scene
Now the boys are up in heaven, man, I'm more likely down in hell
And I'm all wrapped up in bandages in a lonely holdin' cell
My memory might be kinda blurry man, but one thing I know for real
That slick black limo full of ladies had the devil at the wheel

See the night is full of nitro and we just might explode
'Cause we're running like the devil up on dynamite road

I can understand why he forced the band to take their final breath
But did he have to trash my Cadillac? Man, I loved that car to death

7. Private Public Breakdown

I know tomorrow's not today
I'm on my knees but not to pray
I feel what's real just slip away
I hope you like my, I hope you love my
I hope you see my private public breakdown

The secret service
I make them nervous

I watch the traffic passing by
I'm pretty sure that I can fly
Over the trees, but twice as high
My strange behavior, I gotta let give
'Cause I'm the savior resurrected

Oh, oh, oh

I don't need meds to tie me down
Or squads of feds to stand around
'Cause I love floating off the ground
So welcome to my, I hope you like my
I think I love my private public breakdown

And I assure you
That given time, I can cure you

8. Holy Water

I got a dot path and a walking cane
I got a black cat on a golden chain
I got a white shirt with a bloody stain
Going to the river of love
She got long hair
And big brown eyes
She belongs there, it was no surprise
Nothing wrong there, she made me realize
We're going to the river of love
We're going down to the river of love

Oh, holy water
Take me down, hold me under
Oh, I feel the power
Fill my soul with righteous thunder

I was decaying just like a cavity
Dismayed of my depravity
I got way laid by all the gravity
'Til we went down to the river of love
She is an angel, her name is Tiffany
She's kinda strange though, but my epiphany
I wouldn't change though 'cause she's a gift to me
And she leads me to the river of love
We're going to the river of love

Oh, holy water
Take me down, hold me under
Oh, I feel the power
Fill my soul with righteous thunder

I look around and I see loneliness
And hearts are bitter and cold
And filled with target this, the indoctrinations of a soul to kill
The emptiness you live with every night and day
But I'm here to tell you well that ain't the way
You gotta sing it out, you gotta reach to the sky
Until you ring it out, kiss the devil goodbye
You gotta wrap your arms around the woman you love
And raise your eyes to the Lord above, yeah
Raise 'em up to the Lord above, and say

Oh, holy water
Take me down, hold me under
Oh, I feel the power
Fill my soul with righteous thunder
Oh, holy water
Take me down, hold me under

9. Rats

Well giving up to death, terror and hate
Feeling full of meth, I just can't wait
Give the rats what they want
Give the rats what they want
Open the cage, give the rats what they want

Oh, give me my cheese, the grill and the ride
Some bling and some sex and they glow inside
Give the rats what they want
Give the rats what they want
Just open the cage, give the rats what they want

Let 'em run the maze, let 'em ring the bell
Let 'em chase their tails, let 'em go to hell
Let them multiply, that's what they do
You better get them what they want
Or they're coming for you

Let 'em run the maze, let 'em ring the bell
Let 'em chase their tails, let 'em go to hell
Let them multiply, that's what they do
You better get them what they want
Or they're coming for you

Give the rats what they want
Give the rats what they want
Give the rats what they want
Give the rats what they want
Just open the cage, give the rats what they want
Open the cage, give the rats what they want
Oh, open the cage, give the rats what they want

10. The Sound Of A

The sound of A is in the air
The sound of A is everywhere
With the sound of a gun
And you run
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The sound of A is all around
The sound of A is underground
It will creep into your bone
When you're alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Meaningless noise is everybody's toys
Meaningless noise is everybody's toys
Meaningless noise is everybody's toys

The sound of A will keep you down
With that cruel, peculiar sound
It will shoot into your brain
And remain
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Meaningless noise is everybody's toys
Meaningless noise is everybody's toys
Meaningless noise is everybody's toys

11. Genuine American Girl

I do my hair, I paint my nails
It pours outside, it never fails
So the makeup runs, down my pretty face
I'm a muddy mess, a MAC disgrace

But when I leave this room tonight
I'm gonna look and feel alright
'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster
And I'm the pearl

I'm a genuine American girl
A bonafide beauty in an ugly world
My vision of pure femininity
Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl
From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls
I'm everything I hoped to be

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
That a modest little girl is looking back at me
The boys all whistle when I walk by
So I toss my hair and wink my eye

And when I hit the floor tonight
I'm gonna look and feel alright
'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster
And I'm the pearl

I'm a genuine American girl
I'm a rock and roll queen in a hip-hop world
My vision of pure femininity
Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl
From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls
I'm everything I hoped to be

You think it's vanity
Or some insanity
But this is no-man's land
And I live here everyday

So come and dance with me
Come take a chance with me
I'm only thirty out of fifty shades of grey
What do you say?

Hey there, big boy
Why don't you come up and see me tonight?

And when we hit the floor tonight
We're gonna look and feel alright
'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster
And I'm the pearl

I'm a genuine American girl
A bonafide beauty in an ugly world
My vision of pure femininity
Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl
From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls
I'm every He-Man's fantasy
A feminine fatality
You gotta know that I am
Everything I want to be, oh yeah

I'm everything I wanna be
Uh-huh, oh yeah

12. You And All Of Your Friends

One, two, three, four

We're burnin' down your city
The message has been sent
Angels without pity
We hold you in contempt

And this is how it all ends
For you and all of your friends

It's righteous conflagration
It's our way of payin' you back
For plunderin' our nation
Paintin' heaven black

So this is where it all ends
For you and all of your friends

And when the sun goes down tomorrow
We will no longer be your slaves
And it will be the end of sorrow
'Cause we'll be dancing on your graves

'Cause this is where it all ends
It's too late to make amends
For you and all of your friends
