Song Lyrics

"I Gotta Get Outta Here"

by Alice Cooper
Album: Welcome 2 My Nightmare

I can`t wait to wake up in my very own bed
Far away from the madness and my pounding head
The shiver up my spine and this feeling of dread

Well first I finally passed out, then I woke up in pain
Tangled in the wreckage of a runaway train
Was I the last man on earth or was I just insane

I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get outta here
I gotta, gotta get outta here
I'm getting the message, it's totally clear
Yeah I really gotta get out of here

I danced at a disco where the bodies all fell
Piled up to the sky, what a sulphurous smell
Man, the ghouls on the beach they were hotter than hell
(Yeah yeah yeah)

I popped the old man, put a hole in his eye
Spent the night with the devil, she was such a bad guy
And if he has her way I will eternally fry

I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get outta here
I gotta, gotta get outta here
It's not complicated, yeah it's pretty damn clear
I really gotta get outta here

Just wanna be myself again and find my way out of this iniquitous den
I ain't having fun and I ain't making friends
I don't wanna know how this nightmare ends

I don`t know why I'm here, why I've fallen from grace
I can't explain the burns, or the scars on my face
Somebody please wake me up and get me outta this place
(Yeah yeah yeah)

I said I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get outta here
I gotta, gotta get outta here
They say isn't the message clear to you yet, sonny
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "Nah.. excuse me'!'"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "whoa whoa whoa w-wait a minute"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "I'm sorry, are you talking to me'"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "Hey I signed on for a nightmare.."
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "Really. I mean that's a little drastic don`t you think'"
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "I don't.. I.. I.. hey.. whoa..."
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "I get it.. but, but I don`t get it.."
[Choir:] "What part of dead don`t you get'"
[Alice:] "I'm sinking here.. Hello'"
[Choir:] "Yeah yeah yeah"
