I been a rocker since I don't know when,
I been a roller since a way back then,
Oh, yeah.
But late at night when the boogie's through,
I go to bed same as you,
Oh, yeah.
But when the rock & roll nightmare comes,
The devil's gonna make me eat my drums!
I try to fight it, but I just can't win;
I chase it out, but it comes back in
Again-
It's like a weight pressing on my brain;
If I were smart, I would go insane,
Oh, yeah.
'Cause when the rock & roll nightmare's here,
I start to worry 'bout my whole career!
And when the rock & roll nightmare's gone,
I jump about with my pyjamas on!
