You don't know if you should stay awake or close your eyes
Cause if you fall asleep then you're a party pooper
The night's just begun and I have a small surprise
Fine, I'll just haunt your dreams with Freddy Krueger
You should've stayed awake, but now it's way too late
Cause now there's no escape, we're gonna scare you straight to death
Welcome to the world of the unconscious
Where anything can happen, there are no rules
You better watch out cause we have no conscience
Playing nice is a game for fools
Try as hard as you can but you can't run away
And if you fall down you're gonna fall forever
Scream as loud as you can, no one hears what you say
And you can't outsmart us, we're way too clever
I got the magic and Freddy's got the fingers
We're a dangerous dynamic duo
We deal the kind of pain that lingers
The psychological kind you know
Think I said enough, I think you get the gist
When you wake up you're gonna need a therapist
You should've set the alarm on that watch on your wrist
You've been talking smack, now you talk to the fist
You should've stayed awake, but now it's way too late
Cause now there's no escape, we're gonna scare you straight to death
And now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
He's got stripes on his sweater and blades in his hand
He'll haunt you in your dreams because that's his homeland
He's got no heart and his skin is falling off
He's so ill-mannered he won't even cover his cough
Freddy likes to play when he sees the moon
You really ought to stop sleeping until noon
Now you better hope that you wake up soon
If it takes too long you're gonna face your doom
Freddy's really angry, he's ain't here to talk
You better run away fast, don't freaking walk
You can try to hide, but we're watching like a hawk
A eye magician and Freddy got it on lock
You should've stayed awake, but now it's way too late
Cause now there's no escape, we're gonna scare you straight to death
You should've stayed awake, but now it's way too late
Cause now there's no escape, we're gonna scare you straight to death
You should've stayed awake, but now it's way too late
