01. I Am Made Of You

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
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

02. Caffeine

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
I gotta stay awake
I just can't sleep
Becasue I know inside if I close my eyes
it will be the death of me

Because I feel the night
When the darkness creeps
that's when the shadows fry
that's when I must survive
cause every night they come for me

I'm shaking in the ice cold shower
I been for here for about a week
But if I leave I could doze for hours
and that will 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 wont sleep at night
I won't rest my head
Because I realise 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 shaking in the ice cold shower
I been for here for about a week
But if I leave I could doze for hours
and that will 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

03. The Nightmare Returns

Music & lyrics by 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

Cuz when I go to deep into my slumber
Ugly faces, awful places I don't want to go.... no....

04. A Runaway Train

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
[Announcer:] All aboard. Watch your step people. Last call for the nightmare express hahahaha

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 t'wards 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

05. Last Man On Earth

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
I don't know why my whole world came crashing down
I just woke up in lonely town
I opened up my eyes and much to my surprise
Look at this 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 and I can stink
There ain't no one to bother me, no no

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
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
Coz I'm the king of everything
It's all mine...
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

06. The Congregation

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
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 are the boys from wall street. Let's here it for the boys. And here in the eternal mariachi room for the defrocked priest and 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?

07. I'll Bite Your Face Off

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
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

08. Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
Yo Yo Yo, Yooooo
Yo Yo Yo, Yooooo

Here you are in the club, with your bottle full of blood
You've got grill, you got bling but player you don't know a thing
Put your hands in the air, stick 'em up like you don't care
Face the wall, count to ten, we mow you down, reload again

Oh no, here we go

Disco who, disco what
Get down on your knees, and keep your trap shut
Disco this, disco that
When disc-gos to hell, that's where we're at, where we're at

Yo Yo Yo, Yooooo
Yo Yo Yo, Yooooo

Disco Bloodbath
(Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever )
Boogie Fever
(Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever)
Disco Bloodbath
(Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever)
Boogie Fever
(Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever)

Bodies here, bodies there, piles of bodies everywhere
On the chairs, on the door, disco bloodbath on the floor
Hear them yell, hear them scream, just like someones scary dream
Dig a hole, push 'em in, tomorrow they'll be back again

Oh no, here we go

Disco who, disco what
Get down on your knees, and keep your trap shut
Disco this, disco that
When disc-gos to hell, that's where we're at, where we're at

Yo Yo Yo, Yooooo
Yo Yo Yo, Yooooo

Disco Bloodbath
(Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever )
Boogie Fever

Boogie Fever
(Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever)

We cleaned the house tonight (We cleaned the house tonight)
We did our job (We did our job it's alright)
We turned out all the lights okay

We were sent to let them know (I think you really let 'em know)
It was time to let them go (you know they really had to go)
Coz we're the ones who close the show okay

09. Ghouls Gone Wild

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
We're gonna have a bash and we're glad you finally got here
Coz we're already trashed and the band is really hot here
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, screaming in the night
We're feeling kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls... Ghouls....

We're gonna raise some hell yeah, we're gonna rock and roll here
And my sulphur that you smell well it adds a little soul here
We're dancing on your grave and we're dancing in the street
We're dancing through the fire and it's burning up our feet (burning up our feet)

Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screaming in the night
We're feeling kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls... Ghouls....

So exciting when we're biting
Come on and play, whatdaya say

Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screaming in the night
We're feeling kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls... Ghouls.... Ghouls... Ghouls.... Ghouls.... Ghouls....

10. Something To Remember Me By

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
Baby, I wanna tell you something
Just a word and it's no lie
I got so much feeling in side 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 something to remember me by
Something that lasts forever
Coz our love is for all time

Baby, I may be gone tomorrow
But I'm here with you tonight
I'll be holding you 'till 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 something to remember me by
I won't be gone forever
And our love is for all time
I wanna give you something to remember me by

Something to remember further on down the line
Something to remember me by
Bye bye

11. When Hell Comes Home

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
Daddy wants to take me for a ride
Daddy likes to drink when daddy drives
He's pounding 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 is, he's evil to the bone
Mommy says that everything is fine
That's just the way it is, when we're left alone
Coz that's when hell comes home

I hear those footsteps on the stairs
Mom's bleeding out or maybe she don't care
We live in darkness and despair
I'm just so tired of being scared

(Daddy's home.. Get out my way... Gimme the bottle.. Steven... Steven... STEVEN... )

(no... no... no....)
Daddy's gonna get a big surprise
I'll put one right between his eyes
And in his blood I'll write his last goodbyes
Yeah daddy's gonna get a big surprise

That just the way it is, he'll be deader then 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....

12. What Baby Wants

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
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
Coz 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)

[The Devil:] I gotta pretty face
[Steven:] Yeah but I've seen what's hiding underneath
[The Devil:] You like my pretty mouth
[Steven:] But you got razor blades instead of teeth
[The Devil:] And now its too too late for you
[Steven:] Oh yeah tell me what you gonna do
[The Devil:] I'm gonna drain your veins and bathe in your blood
[Steven:] Honey I seen worse then you
[The Devil:] I'll make you sit, beg, roll over, play dead
[Steven:] Ain't gonna be your little pet
[The Devil:] Oh really...

What baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
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

Coz what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
Yeah what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)

[The Devil/Steven:] I'll make you sit, beg, roll over, play dead. I'm gonna be your little pet

Coz what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
Yeah what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
Coz what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)
Yeah what baby wants (What baby wants wants wants)
Baby gets (She's gonna gonna gonna get)

What baby wants, baby gets

13. I Gotta Get Outta Here

Music & lyrics by Alice Cooper
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"
