ALICE COOPER LYRICS

1. Welcome To My Nightmare

Welcome to my nightmare, I think you're gonna like it, I think you're gonna feel you belong.
A nocturnal vacation, unnecessary sedation, you want to feel at home 'cause you belong.
Welcome to my nightmare whoa, ho, ho, ho...

Welcome to my breakdown.
I hope I didn't scare you.
That's just the way we are when we come down.
We sweat and laugh and scream here.
'Cause life is just a dream here.
You know inside you feel right at home, here.
Yeah, Welcome to my nightmare yeah, hey, hey, hey...

Welcome to my nightmare!
I think you're gonna like it!
I think you're gonna feel you belong!
We sweat and laugh and scream here!
'Cause life is just a dream here!
You know inside you feel right at home, here!

Welcome to my nightmare hoo, hoo, woo, hoo...
Welcome to my breakdown...

Yeah!

2. Devil's Food

Get ready for the lady she's gonna be a treat
Simmer slightly 'till ready make her soft too make her sweet
I kiss the tears off from your chest I felt the poison fright that's in your breath
I knew your precious life and I know your death
I squeeze the love out of your soul all the perfect love that's in your soul
You're just another spirit on parole you are devil's food
You are devil's food you are devil's food ah

3. The Black Widow

These words he speaks are true we're all humanary stew if we don't pledge allegiance to the black widow
The horror that he brings the horror of his sting the unholiest of kings the black widow
Our minds will be his toy and every girl and boy will learn to be employed by the black widow
Love me yes we love me love him yes we love him love me yes we love him ahahahaha
He sits upon this throne and picks at all the bones of his husbands and his wives he's devoured
He stares with a gleam with a laugh so obscene at the virgins and the children he's deflowered
Love me yes we love me love him yes we love him love me yes we love him ahahahaha
Our thoughts are hot and crazed our brains are webbed in haze of mindless senseless daze the black widow
'cos these speaks he says are true we're all humanary stew if we don't pledge allegiance to the black widow
The black widow

4. Some Folks

Some folks love to see red some folks never talk about it
Some folks crave a blue lady some folks know and still they doubt it
I'm just no good without it I'm not a man at all it makes my skin crawl
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me now
Some folks love to feel pain some folks wake up every morning
Some folks live for no reason some folks die without a warning
I'm just no good without it I'm not a man at all it makes my skin crawl
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me save me
My my baby come on and save me now
I just can't live without it just can't live without it
I don't want to think about it don't want to think about it
I just can't live without it I just can't get it
I just can't I just can't no I just can't live no I I can't
I'm just no good without it I'm not a man at all it makes my skin crawl
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me save me
Baby baby come on and save me save me my my baby baby come on and save me now
'cos I just can't live without it I just can't live without it
I don't wanna think about it I don't wanna think about it
No I just can't can't live without it I know I don't wanna think about it
I just can't live without I just can't I just can't no I can't

5. Only Women Bleed

Man got his woman to take his seed he got the power oh she got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man she feeds him dinner or anything she can
She cries alone at night too often he smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed
Man makes your hair grey he's your life's mistake all you're really looking for's an even break
He lies right at you you now hate this game he slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often he smokes and drinks and don't come home at all ooh
Only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed
Only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed
Man got his woman to take his seed he got the power oh she got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man she feeds him dinner or anything she can
She cries alone at night too often he smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed
Black eyes all of the time don't spend a dime clean up this grime
And you there down on your knees begging me please come watch me bleed
Only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed
Only women bleed only women bleed only women bleed

For a little while longer maybe an hour no Steven we have to go back now
Isn't that our mom calling Steven Steven Steven come home Steven come home

9. Steven

I don't want to see you go I don't even want to be there
I will cover up my eyes and pray it goes away
You've only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming please stop screaming
I don't like to hear you cry you just don't know how deep that cuts me
So I will cover up my eyes and it will go away
You've only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming please stop screaming
Steven Steven I hear my name Steven is someone calling me I hear my name
Steven that icy breath it whispers screams of pain
I don't want to feel you die but if that's the way that god has planned you
I'll put pennies on your eyes and it will go away see
You've only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming
Steven is someone calling me no Steven I think I hear a voice it's outside the door

10. The Awakening

I wake up in the basement I'm so hungry I'm dry
I must be here sleepwalking mustn't I
Getting up from my easy chair looking for my wife
Following a trial of crimson spots that lead into the night
Suddenly I realize I see it all through real eyes
These crimson spots are dripping from my hand
And oh it makes me feel like a man

11. Escape

Paint on my cruel or happy face and hide me behind it
It takes me inside another place where no one can find it
Escape I get out when I can I escape anytime I can
It's all escape I'm crying in my beer come on let's escape just get me out of here
Don't get me wrong don't get me right I'm not like you are
When I get home from work at night I'm blacker and bluer
So I escape I get out when I can escape anytime I can
It's all escape I'm crying in my beer escape just get me out of here
But where am I running to there's no place to go
Just put on my make up and get me to the show yeah escape
Yeah what are you waitin' for
My doctor said just come around you'll be taken care of
And in while he ran my problems down I stole his mascara
That's how I escape I get out when I can I escape anytime I can
I escape I'm crying in my beer it's escape just get me out of here
Escape let's get out while we can it's escape anywhere we can
Come on it's escape nobody wants us around here anyway
Escape what are you waitin' for escape escape I escape

I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here
