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

1428

This prison seals my fate

1428

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

1428

This prison seals my fate

1428

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

1428

This prison seals my fate

1428

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
