[Verse] On Elm Street shadows creep and crawl In haunted dreams where nightmares brawl A Freddy smile you can't erase Fear's the mask upon his face [Verse 2] Claw marks etch in moonlit air Insomnia is the heart's despair In the boiler room the whispers scream Will I wake from this twisted dream [Chorus] Night falls and I can't sleep Freddy's laughter cuts so deep Run but nowhere left to hide In my mind he'll always bide [Verse 3] Pillows soaked in sweat and dread Monsters lurking 'neath my bed Slumber's not a safe retreat In the world of Elm Street [Bridge] Silent screams in dream-filled nights Fiendish visions steal the light In his grip reality blurs Life and death The line obscures [Chorus] Night falls and I can't sleep Freddy's laughter cuts so deep Run but nowhere left to hide In my mind he'll always bide
