Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me Lyrics by Alice Cooper

Dragontown (Special Edition)

2000

Don't sing me lullabies
I won't close my eyes
I can't close my eyes
It's true
I'm doomed
'til dawn
Shines through
Got too many things to do
Got friends to see
I can't miss a thing
It's true
I'm through
I'm screwed
Unglued
I won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes
I never close my eyes
You see, they're always there with funny hair
Oh, I'm so scared
It happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
And if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
Make the coffee black as night
Help me through the night
I know their appetite for me
I'm meat
But I'm sweet
As can be
And if I do too much booze
I begin to snooze
I hear the big old floppy shoes
It's true
I'm stew
Unchewed
I won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes
I never close my eyes
See, they're always there with that funny hair
Oh, I'm so scared
It happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
And if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
