[Intro] [gritty synth bass, four-on-the-floor kick, staccato synth lead] You hear that? Don't fall asleep [Verse 1] [female vocals, synth bass pulses] Stripe-sleeved shadow, yeah you know that shape Waterbed shaking and you try to escape Boiler room fever got you talking in your sleep Say you're not me but you move like me Dream warriors calling but you don't wake up Sunlit little nightmare running out of luck Counting every heartbeat baby on the way Think it's over but I like to stay [Pre-Chorus] [synth lead intensifies, filtered sweeps] You close your eyes I get closer You hold your breath I take over You say my name like it's nothing But you don't know what you started [Chorus] [full electronic arrangement, layered vocals] Are you ready for Freddy? Don't fall asleep just yet You can try to forget me but I ain't done with you yet Are you ready for Freddy? Say it under your breath You can run if you want to but you ain't outrunning me now Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, na-na-na-na-not yet [Verse 2] [bass drops to eighth notes] Thought it was the last time, bury me instead Quiet little town now I'm loud in your head Lights, camera, cut, now I'm out of the screen One bad edit and I rewrite the scene Hockey mask shadow, no I'm splitting the kill You wanted a crossover baby I'm real New face, same hands, different dream I invade Doesn't matter the version I don't ever fade [Pre-Chorus] You close your eyes I get closer You hold your breath I take over You say my name like it's nothing But you don't know what you started [Chorus] Are you ready for Freddy? Don't fall asleep just yet You can try to forget me but I ain't done with you yet Are you ready for Freddy? Say it under your breath You can run if you want to but you ain't outrunning me now [Bridge] [rhythmic synth pulses, whispered vocals] Every clock you turn, every light you keep I'm the little pulse underneath your sleep Every road you take leads back to me You can change the face but not the dream [Outro] [synth lead melody] Don't fall asleep Don't fall asleep Are you ready for Freddy? Don't fall asleep just yet You can try to forget me but I ain't done with you yet Are you ready for Freddy? Say it under your breath You can run if you want to but you ain't outrunning me now Are you ready? Sweet dreams
