In a house on Elm Street
Suburban Sanctuary
September '80 was a horrifying time.
In a house on Elm Street,
Glen is calling Nancy
In shock white terror, Nancy stays awake all night
"Woah... Woah"
T.V. and headphones on, from evening 'till the dawn
Can't fall asleep or I might wake up underground
1428
This prison seals my fate!
1428
God, help me stay awake!
"Woah... Woah!"
Bottle of No-Doz
And Mr. Coffee in my room
Wish I could just nod off and wake up in the afternoon
A demon spectre with a glove of razor knives
He waits inside our nightmares
For a teenage sacrifice
T.V. and headphones on, from evening 'till the dawn
Can't fall asleep or I might wake up underground
1428
This prison seals my fate!
1428
God, help me stay awake!
"Woah... Woah!"
No more need to wonder why the kids all die at night
Krueger's come for souls and murder's on his mind
Dirty fedora, a rotting sweater, bloodshot eyes
Baby don't you fall asleep, cause Freddy comes or you tonight
T.V. and headphones on, from evening 'till the dawn
Can't fall asleep or I might wake up underground
1428
This prison seals my fate!
1428
God, help me stay awake!
"Woah... Woah!"
One, two, Freddy's comin' for you
Three, four, you'd better lock your fucking door
Five, six, go grab your crucifix
Seven, eight, we're gonna stay up late
Nine, ten, never sleep --
Never sleep again!
"Woah..."
"Welcome to Prime Time, bitch!"
