The American Nightmare - Live in Riverside / 2023

Lyrics

[Spoken Word from Spencer Charnas] You're not falling asleep yet, are you California? [Intro/Sample] 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 sleep [Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino ] Rest your head, here's a lullaby A melody for heavy eyes Early to bed, early to die Welcome to your worst nightmare Are we fucking ready? [Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, Ricky Armellino] Fast asleep, it's all in your head now Past thе street where they cursеd 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 awakened [Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti, Joe Occhiuti] When night comes creeping My cruel hand will rock you to sleep [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Crowd, Ricky Armellino] 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 Sweet dreams Oh [Spoken Word from Spencer Charnas] I need you to get your fucking claws in the sky [Verse 3: Spencer Charnas, Joe Occhiuti, Ricky Armellino] 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 All your friends are fucking dead Middle fingers up You can't turn down your own deathbed [Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti, Joe Occhiuti] When night comes creeping My cruel hand will rock you to sleep [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino, Ricky Armellino, Patrick Galante] 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 [Bridge: Sample, Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino, Patrick Galante] One, 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 time [Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti, Joe Occhiuti] When night comes creeping My cruel hand will rock you to sleep (Sing it) [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino, Ricky Armellino, Patrick Galante] 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
