Letra de The American Nightmare (Live in Riverside / 2023)
You're not falling asleep yet, are you California? Getting ready for bed at a regular time Is one of the most important habits you can learn David has probably never stopped to think What a wonderful thing sleep is Dreams are normal too Going to bed at a regular time each night Makes it easier to go right off to sleepRest your head, here's a lullaby A melody for heavy eyes Early to bed, early to die! Welcome to your worst nightmare! Go! Are we fucking ready?Fast asleep, it's all in your head now! Past the street where they cursed my name! But I won't be forsaken Craven my revenge from the shallow grave! Where I went down in flames! The beast has been awakenedWhen night comes creeping My cruel hand will rock you to sleepI'm the (American nightmare) With American dreams Of countin' the bodies while you count sheep I'm the American nightmare Yeah, I'm living the dream I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver scream (Sweet dreams) Oh!I need you to get your fucking claws in the sky! Fell in love with hate 'cause evil fit like a glove It's fate that I'm still here! And I won't be forsaken! Wicked when I was just a man! But sickening now and fed by fear! The beast has been awakened now! They all think it's just pretend! (What is it?) (You'll never, ever sleep again) Yeah! All your friends are fucking dead! Middle fingers up You can't turn down your own deathbed!When night comes creeping My cruel hand will rock you to sleepI'm the American nightmare With American dreams! Of countin' the bodies while you count sheep I'm the American nightmare Yeah, I'm living the dream I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver scream Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Get up, get up! I'm the American nightmare I'm the man of the dreams Where the glove is God So I'm sinking my claws in the silver screamOne, two, dreams do come true (Count it) Three, four, see you at the morgue Five, six, he'll get his fix (Send us to Hell) Seven, eight Now shake the twisted hand of fate! No! Now shake the twisted hand of fate! No! All your friends are fucking dead! One more timeWhen night comes creeping My cruel hand will rock you to sleep (Sing it)I'm the (American nightmare) With American dreams! Of countin' the bodies while you count sheep I'm the American nightmare Yeah, I'm living the dream I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver scream Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh I'm the American nightmare I'm the man of the dreams Where the glove is God So I'm sinking my claws in the silver scream
