Alice Cooper
I Am Made of You (Alice Cooper, Bob Ezrin, Desmond Child) - 5:32
In the beginning
I was just a shadow
In the beginning
I was alone
In the beginning, I was blind
Living in a world devoid of light
In the beginning
There was only night
I was shattered
Left in pieces
And I felt so cold inside
Then I called you
From the darkness
Where I hide
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
In the beginning
You were revolition
A river of salvation
And now I believe
All I wanted
All I needed
Was someone to rescue me
I was drownding
I was dying
Now I'm free
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
Here I am now
I can stand now
'Cuz your love has made me strong
And forever
You're the singer
I'm the song
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
Caffeine (Cooper, Ezrin, Tommy Henriksen, Keith Nelson) - 3:23
I gotta stay awake
I just can't sleep
Because I know inside if I close my eyes
It'll be the death of me
Because I fear the night
When the darkness creeps
That's when the shadows thrive, that's when I must survive
Cuz every night they come for me
I'm shakin' in the ice cold shower
I been here for about a week
But if I leave, I could doze for hours
And that would surely be the end of a coward like me
Caffeine, caffeine
Amphetamine
A little speed is all I need
Caffeine, caffeine
(Woo-woo-woo!)
I won't sleep at night
I won't rest my head
Because I realize if I shut my eyes
I'm gonna wake up dead
I'm in a desperate way
I'm very near the end
And all I know's a triple-shot of Joe
Is my only friend
I'm shakin' in the ice cold shower
I been here for about a week
But if I leave, I could doze for hours
And that would surely be the end of a coward like me
Caffeine, caffeine
Amphetamine
A little speed is all I need
Caffeine, caffeine
(Woo-woo-woo!
Woo-woo-woo!)
Caffeine, caffeine
Amphetamine
A little speed is all I need
Caffeine, caffeine
Caffeine, caffeine
Amphetamine
A little speed is all I need
Caffeine, caffeine
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, ahhhh...
The Nightmare Returns (Cooper, Ezrin) - 1:14
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
Coz when I go to deep into my slumber
Ugly faces, awful places I don't want to go...
No...
A Runaway Train (Cooper, Ezrin, Dennis Dunaway) - 3:51
All aboard!
Watch your step, people.
Last call for The Nightmare Express!
I found myself slippin' away
Just this side of dead.
I woke up in a boxcar,
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."
Speedin' towards a flamin' wall
Like a screamin' 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 hurts.
Now I'm sleepin' in the graveyard
On the wrong side of the dirt.
Now, 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!
Last Man on Earth (Cooper, Ezrin, Piggy D, David Spreng) - 3:47
I don't know why my whole world came crashin' down,
I just woke up in lonely town.
I opened up my eyes and much to my surprise,
Look out, there's heaven that I've found!
Don't need to care about tomorrow.
I got no pain, I got no sorrow.
I'm the last man on earth,
So tell me what it's worth.
Am I a beggar or a king?
Got no trouble, got no time,
Eternity is mine!
I got a whole lot of everything!
I can take this town
And just burn it to the ground!
Smash every window that I see!
I can smoke, I can drink,
I can swear an' I can stink!
There ain't no one to bother me!
No, no.
Don't need to care about tomorrow
I got not pain, I got no sorrow.
I'm the last man on earth,
So tell me what it's worth.
Am I a beggar or a king?
Got no trouble, got no time.
Eternity is mine!
I got a whole lot of everything!
It's all mine!
There's not a single soul to talk to me,
But that's okay, I never liked them!
I'm the last man on earth
And I know what it's worth!
I'm not a beggar, I'm a king!
Got no troubles, got no time,
And everything is fine!
Cuz I'm the king of everything!
It's all mine!
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
The Congregation (Cooper, Ezrin, Henriksen) - 3:59
Now you're here so have no fear, I'm just your friendly guide
So come along coz you belong, you joined us when you died
From your birth until your final breath
I'm proud to say you finally entertained yourself to death
Welcome to the congregation
I hope we meet your expectation
A little tiny pinch of deviation
We understand what you had planned goes by another name
Where bluebirds sing and church bells ring, well isn't that a shame
Your application sadly was denied
But let's be clear, we love you here, you're on the other side
Welcome to the congregation
I hope we meet your expectation
We promise it won't stain your reputation
[The Guide:]
Ah, as you can see over here the broken glass chamber of the boys from wall street.
Let's here it for the boys.
And here in the eternal mariachi room for the defrocked priest and the telemarketers.
And the totally fiery pit of boiling death the lawyers, pimps and mimes...
Welcome to the congregation
Welcome to the congregation
Welcome to the congregation
I hope we meet your expectation
So thanks for dropping by here
We're really gonna try here
But in the end you know you're gonna fry.... fry.... fry... here
Umm.. excuse me sir, is there a bathroom here?
I'll Bite Your Face Off (Cooper, Ezrin, Henriksen, Neal Smith) - 4:25
She was a dirty dream, cool and clean
With seduction dancing in her eyes
She turned around, looked me up and down
She took me by surprise
I tried to run, tried to hide
But my feet were made of clay
Looked in her eyes, I was paralyzed
I just couldn't get away
She licked her lips, they were bloody red
She had the heart of the living dead
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven, but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off - little man
I'll bite your face off - you know that I can
She put the whip into cream
She was a sinner's queen, oh a delicious angel face
She'd invite you in, c'mon and lick my skin
You'd sell your soul for another taste
She took my heart, my resistance fled
I loved each lie that I was fed
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven, but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off - little man
I'll bite your face off - you know that I can
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven, but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off - little man
I'll bite your face off - you know that I can
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever (Cooper, Ezrin, Henriksen) - 3:35
Yo, yo, yo, whoah-oh-oh
Yo, yo, yo, whoah-oh-oh

Full of Bud
You've got grill
You got bling

We turned out all the lights, okay.
We were sent to let them know
(Let 'em know)
It was time to let them go
(We really had to go)
Cuz we're the ones who close the show, okay
Ghouls Gone Wild (Cooper, Ezrin, Henriksen) - 2:33
We're gonna have a bash and we're glad you finally got here
Cuz we're already trashed and the band is really hot, yeah
We're gonna dance our heads off and we're gonna keep it tight
If we keep ourselves together, we might make it through the night
Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screamin' in the night
We're feelin' kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls
(Oooh-Waaa, Oooh-Waaa!)
Ghouls
(Oooh-Waaa, Oooh-Waaa!)
We're gonna raise some hell, yeah, we're gonna rock and roll here
And the sulfur that you smell, well, it adds a little soul there
We're dancin' on your grave and we're dancin' in the street
We're dancin' through the fire and it's burnin' up our feet
(Burnin' up our feet)
Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screamin' in the night
We're feelin' kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls
(Oooh-Waaa, Oooh-Waaa!)

(Oooh-Waaa, Oooh-Waaa!)
So exciting
When we're biting
Come on and play!

Ghouls gone wild, screamin' in the night
We're feelin' kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls

Ghouls
(Oooh-Waaa, Oooh-Waaa!)

Something to Remember Me By (Cooper, Dick Wagner) - 3:16
Baby, I wanna tell you somethin'
Just a word and it's no lie
I got so much feelin' inside of me
Baby, our love will last forever
Through the changes of the heart
Through the lonely nights, whenever we're far apart
Before we say goodbye
All I wanna say is I
I just wanna give you somethin'
To remember me by
Somethin' that lasts forever
Cuz our love is for all time
Baby, I may be gone tomorrow
But I'm here with you tonight
I'll be holdin' you 'til morning light
And baby, I'm gonna watch you wake up
Scattered clothes across the floor
And hear you whisper to me,
Love me again once more before we say goodbye
All I wanna say is I
I just wanna give you somethin'
To remember me by
I won't be gone forever
And our love is for all time
I want to give you somethin'
To remember me by
Somethin' to remember
Further on down the line
Somethin' to remember me by
Bye-bye.
When Hell Comes Home (Cooper, Ezrin, Michael Bruce) - 4:29
Daddy wants to take me for a ride
Daddy likes to drink when daddy drives
He's poundin' on my door
He wants to come inside
Yeah, daddy wants to take me for a ride
That's just the way it is when I'm left alone
Yeah, that's when hell comes home
Mommy says that everything is fine
Mommy hides her bruises all the time
She always makes excuses, but I know that she is lyin'
Mommy says that everything is fine
That's just the way it, he's evil to the bone
Mommy says that everything is fine
Yeah, that's just the way it is when we're left alone
Cuz that's when hell comes home
I hear those footsteps on the stairs
Mom's bleedin' out, oh, maybe she don't care
We live in darkness and despair
I'm just so tired of bein' scared
Daddy's gonna get a big surprise
I'll put one right between his eyes
And with his blood, I'll write his last goodbyes
Yeah, daddy's gonna get a big surprise
That's just the way it is, he'll be deader than a stone
That's just the way it is, he'll leave us both alone
That's just the way it is
When hell comes home
Home
What Baby Wants (feat. Ke$ha) (Cooper, Ezrin, Henriksen, Kesha) - 3:43
She gonna come for you
And you can try to run and hide
No matter what you do
She gonna take it deep inside
You're thinking this could be a dream come true
But you don't really understand
She feeds on flesh and blood and boys like you
She gonna make you be a man
She'll take your bleeding heart and your soul, no regrets
Cause what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
What baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
[Ke$ha:] I gotta pretty face

[Alice:] But you got razor blades instead of teeth
[Ke$ha:] And now its too too late for you

Yeah what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
Bay tells lies, Baby looks you in the eyes
It's her aphrodisiac, when she stabs you in the back
She comes on like a saint but that's exactly what she ain't
Not a damsel in distress, she's the devil in a dress
She's gonna stay with you
She's gonna play with you
It's one thing you can bet
Cause what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)

I Gotta Get Outta Here (Cooper, Ezrin, Patterson Hood) - 4:20
I can`t wait to wake up in my very own bed
Far away from the madness and my pounding head
The shiver up my spine and this feeling of dread
Well first I finally passed out, then I woke up in pain
Tangled in the wreckage of a runaway train
Was I the last man on earth or was I just insane
I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get outta here
I gotta, gotta get outta here
I'm getting the message, it's totally clear
Yeah I really gotta get out of here
I danced at a disco where the bodies all fell
Piled up to the sky, what a sulphurous smell
Man, the ghouls on the beach they were hotter than hell
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I popped the old man, put a hole in his eye
Spent the night with the devil, she was such a bad guy
And if he has her way I will eternally fry
I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get outta here
I gotta, gotta get outta here
It's not complicated, yeah it's pretty damn clear
I really gotta get outta here
Just wanna be myself again and find my way out of this iniquitous den
I ain't having fun and I ain't making friends
I don't wanna know how this nightmare ends
I don`t know why I'm here, why I've fallen from grace
I can't explain the burns, or the scars on my face
Somebody please wake me up and get me outta this place
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I said I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get outta here
I gotta, gotta get outta here
They say isn't the message clear to you yet, sonny
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "Nah.. excuse me?!?"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "whoa whoa whoa w-wait a minute"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "I'm sorry, are you talking to me?"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "Hey I signed on for a nightmare.."
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "Really. I mean that's a little drastic don`t you think?"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "I don't.. I.. I.. hey.. whoa..."
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "I get it.. but, but I don`t get it.."
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get?"
[Alice:] "I'm sinking here.. Hello?"
[Choir:] "Yeah yeah yeah"

We Gotta Get out of This Place (Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil) - 3:09
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now lil girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
See my daddy in bed, he's dyin'
Yeah his hair been turnin' grey
He been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know
We gotta work, yeah
Work yeah
Work yeah
We gotta work, work, work, work
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
I know it's true
My little girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is through, I know
Watching my daddy in bed he's dyin'
You know his hair been turnin' grey
He's been slavin' and workin' his life away
Yeah I know
That we gotta work, yeah
Work
Gotta Work
We gotta work, work, work, work
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
And you know it's true
Under the Bed (Cooper, Ezrin, Henriksen) - 4:00
I know they're under the bed, that's where they hide
I know they need to be fed every night
They live deep under the bed, way down below
I found the skin that they shed cuz they eat there and they breathe there, and they grow
Save me, I can't take anymore cuz it's happening again
I've had this nightmare before and I know how it ends, how it ends
My cat went under the bed and disappeared
All we found was a tail and a paw, and an ear
I know they're talking about me when it's dark not light
They don't like to be seen cuz they growl there and they laugh there, and they bite
Save me, I can't take any more cuz it's happening again
I've had this nightmare before and I know how it ends, how it ends
Save me, I can't take any more cuz it's happening again
I've had this nightmare before and I know how it ends, how it ends
Flatline - 3:27
Instrumental
A Bad Situation (Cooper, Garric, Jim Bachi, Ezrin) - 3:43
Got one foot in the grave cause I work like a slave
I don't get no vacation
I want a piece of the cake, I want a slice of the stake
I'm sick of cheap imitations
I got a pain in the neck from this rusty old wreck that I drive
All the things that I miss, all the ass that I kiss to survive, stay alive
It's a bad situation
It's demoralization
Like a state of the nation
A really bad situation
I can't change the pace, I'm just a rat in the race
And that's a major frustration
I'm way underpaid, no no I never get laid
That ain't no exaggeration
I got a pain in the neck from this rusty old wreck that I drive
All the things that I miss, all the ass that I kiss to survive, stay alive
It's a bad situation
It's demoralization
Like a state of the nation
A really bad situation
Oh what I'd give to blow this dump where I live and to fly
And whack all the jerks in the place where I work
That's how I'd say goodbye
It's a bad situation
It's a disintegration
Oh my mentalization
A really bad situation
Things I've done for inspiration
Of my gesticulation
That was the last insultation
Of a bad situation
Bad bad situation
Bad bad situation
