WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE
1975



WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE

Welcome to my nightmare
I think you're gonna like it
I think you're gonna feel like you belong
A nocturnal vacation
Unnecessary sedation
You wanna feel at home cause you belong
Welcome to my nightmare, whoa
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
Welcome to my breakdown, whoa
You're welcome to my nightmare, yeah
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, whoo
Welcome to my breakdown
Yeah



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
(Devil's food)
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
Devil's food
You are
Devil's food
You are
Devil's food
Ahhh...
"Leaving lepidoptra...
Please don't touch the displays, little boy.
Hehehehe.
Oh, cute.
Moving to the next aisle we have arachnida, the spiders, our finest collection.
This friendly little devil is the heptothilidi, unfortunately harmless.
Next to him, the nasty licosa raptoria.
His tiny fangs cause creeping ulcerations of the skin.
And here, my prize, the black widow.
Isn't she lovely?
And so deadly.
Her kiss is fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake.
You see her venom is highly neurotoxic, which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system causing intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, violent convulsions and, finally, uh, death.
You know, I think what I love the most about her is her inborn need to dominate, possess.
In fact, immediately after the consummation of her marriage to the smaller and weaker male of the specie, she kills and eats him.
Oh, she is delicious...and I hope he was.
Such power and dignity, unhampered by sentiment.
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy, I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough.
And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor"



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'll bring
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
The black widow
Love me
Yes, we love me
Love him
Yes, we love him
Love me
Yes, we love him
Ahhh...
He sits upon his throne
And he picks at all the bones
Of his husbands and his wives
He's devoured
And 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
Ahhh...
Our thoughts are hot and crazed
Our brains are webbed in haze
A mindless senseless daze
The black widow
These things he says are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to
The black widow
The black widow



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 mornin'
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, baby
Come on and save me now
I can't, can't live without it
I just can't live without it
I don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna think about it
I can't live without 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, save me
My, my baby, baby
Come on and save me, save me
My, my baby, baby
Come on and save me now
Cause I just can't live without it
I just can't live without it
And I, I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
I can't live without it...



ONLY WOMAN 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, oh, 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 gray, he's your life's mistake
All you're really lookin' for is an even break
He lies right at you, you know you hate this game
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, oh, 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



DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH

We're in trouble all the time
You read about us all in the papers
We walk around and bump into walls, a blind delegation, yeah
And we ain't afraid of high power
We're bullet proof
And we've never heard of Eisenhower
Missile power, justice or truth
We're the Department of Youth
Your new Department of Youth
We're the Department of Youth
Just me and youth
We talk about this whole stupid world
And still come out laughing, ha
We never make any sense
But hell, that never mattered
But we'll make it through our blackest hour
We're living proof
And we've never heard of Billy Sunday
Damon Runyon, manners or couth
We're the Department of Youth
Your new Department of Youth

YEARS AGO

Here I go again
Up and down alone
All my friends went home
Years ago
All my toys are broken
And so am I inside, mom
The carnival has closed
Years ago
I'm a little boy
No, I'm a great big man
No, let's be a little boy
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)
(Oh Steven, come home)
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 that whispers screams of pain
I don't want to feel you die
But if that's the way that God has planned you
Oh, I'll, I'll put pennies on your eyes
And, and, and it, 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
Steven
I hear my name
Steven
Is someone calling me?
I hear my name
Steven
What do you want?
Steven
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
Steven
Steven
Steven
I hear my name



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 trail 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 ooh, it makes me feel like a man



ESCAPE

Paint on my cruel or happy face
I 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
Let's all escape
I'm crying in my beer
C'mon, let's escape
Just get me outta 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
Yeah, I escape
Anytime I can
Let's all escape
I'm crying in my beer
Escape
Just get me outta here
Where am I running to?
There's no place to go
Just put on my makeup
And get me to the show
Yeah, escape
Yeah
What are you waitin' for?
My doctor said just come around
And you'll be taken care of
And while he ran my problems down
I stole his mascara
That's how I escape
I get out when I can
I escape
Anyway I can
I escape
I'm crying in my beer
Let's escape
Just get me outta here
Escape
Let's get out while we can
Let's escape
Anyway we can
C'mon, let's escape
Nobody wants us around here anyway
Escape
What are we waiting for?
Escape
Escape
Escape
C'mon over here, let's escape
Escape...
Get me outta here...
I gotta get outta here...
