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
T.v. And headphones on
From evening 'till the dawn
Can't fall asleep or I might wake up underground
This prison seals my fate
God help me stay awake
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
This prison seals my fate
God help me stay awake
No more need to wonder
Why the kids all die at night
Kruger'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 for you tonight
T.v. And headphones on
From evening 'till the dawn
Can't fall asleep or I might wake up underground
This prison seals my fate
God help me stay awake
One, two, freddy's comin' for you
Three, four, you better lock your fucking door
Five, six grab your crucifix
Seven, eight we're gonna stay up late
Nine, ten...never sleep.
Never sleep again
