Steven - Alice Cooper

here i go again

up and down alone

all my friends went home

years ago

(mmmm mmmm)

all my toys are broken

and so am i inside mum

the carnival has closed

years ago

(whistle)

(boy)im a little boy

(man)no, im a great big man

(Boy)no, lets be little boys

(Spoken)a little while longer

maybe an hour

(man)no Steven we have to go back now

(both)isnt that our mum calling

(steven, steven, steven its time to come home)

I don’t want to see you go I don’t even want to be there

I will cover up my eyes

And pray it goes away

You’ve only lived a minute of your life

I must be dreaming, please stop screaming

I don’t like to hear you cry

You just don’t know how deep that cuts me So I will cover up my eyes

And it will go away

You’ve only lived a minute of your life

I must be dreaming, please stop screaming

STEVEN!

STEVEN!

I hear my name!

STEVEN!

Is someone calling me?

I hear my name!

STEVEN!

That icy breath that whispers screams of pain!

I don’t want to feel you die

But if that’s the way that God has planned you

I’ll put pennies on your eyes

And it will go away

See?

You’ve only lived a minute of your life

I must be dreaming

Steven…

Is someone calling me?

No…

Steven…

I think I hear a voice--- it’s outside the door!

STEVEN!

I hear my name!

STEVEN!

Is someone calling me?

I hear my name!

STEVEN!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

STEVEN!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHAT-DO-YOU-WANT?

STEVEN!

STEVEN!

STEVEN!

I hear my name…

im down here in the basement

im so hungry and tired

i must be here sleep walking

mustn’t i?

I get up from my easy chair

looking for my knife

following a trail of crimson spots

that lead into the night

suddenly I realize

I see it all through real eyes

these crimson spots are

dripping from my hand

ahh ooooohhhhhhhhh---

you make me feel like a man.

THE END
