Dragontown

ALICE COOPER Dragontown Lyrics
1.Triggerman

I ain't got a name
I don't got a face
No fingerprints or DNA

I ain't got no eyes
I don't got a tongue
But I know what's going on
I'm deaf and dumb

I'm pure non-entity
Don't even look for me
I watch you when you sleep

I am the triggerman
I am the underhand
I'll keep you on your knees
I am the brain police

I am the triggerman
I am the underhand
I'm full of dirty tricks
I'm twice as smart and certainly twice as sick

I'm always out of sight
A shadow in the mist
I don't need an alibi
'Cause I don't exist

I'm pure non-entity
Don't even look for me
I watch you when you sleep

I am the triggerman
I am the underhand
I'll keep you on your knees
I am the brain police

I am the triggerman
I am the underhand
I'm full of dirty tricks
I'm twice as smart and certainly twice as sick

He's sick, he's sick, he's really, really sick
He's sick, he's sick, he's really, really sick
He's really, really sick, he's sick, he's sick
He's really, really sick

I'm pure non-entity
Don't even look for me
I watch you when you sleep

I am the triggerman
I am the underhand
I'll keep you on your knees
I am the brain police

I am the triggerman
I am the underhand
I'm full of dirty tricks
I'm twice as smart and certainly twice as sick

He's sick, he's sick, he's really, really sick
He's sick, he's sick, he's really, really sick
He's sick, he's sick, he's really, really sick
He's sick, he's really, really sick

He's sick


2.Deeper

We must complete the trip
Try not to lose your grip
No sight of solid ground
And never look straight down

Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper

Your claustrophobic brain
Sucking you down the drain
The walls are closing in
The air is getting thin

The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go

We're in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we're in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go

Daylight is at an end
You'll never see again
You'll soon embrace the sight
Of this cold eternal light

The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go

We're in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we're in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go

The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go

We're in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we're in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go

The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go

We're in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we're in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go


3.Dragontown

Well, here you are
Lying bleeding on a grimey street
See the broken glass
Sparkling darkly as it cuts your feet

Smell the rotting stench
The rancid odor of old cantonese
Feel the toxic flames all around you
You can hardly breathe
Come with me

Come on, I've got something to show you
Come on, you thought that it was over
Come on, you're really gonna love this
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiraling down
Far as you wanna go, down in Dragontown

Open any door
Remember everyone you met before?
Oh, there's a wicked young man
Cooking slowly the frying pan

And our family of bones
Are back together sleeping all alone
Then there's Alice, dear
And all the little things that got him here
Now you're here

Come on, I've got something to show you
Come on, you thought that it was over
Come on, you're really gonna love this
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiraling down
Far as you wanna go, down in Dragontown

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiraling down
Far as you wanna go, down in Dragontown

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiraling down
Far as you wanna go, down in Dragontown


4.Sex, Death And Money

Sex, death
Sex, death
Sex, death

When I go to the show
All I see on the screen is a stream of pure vulgarity
I wrote down a note
I complained for a day to the House of Representatives

They laughed in my face
They said 'Son, you're a one-in-a-million minority
The name of the game
Is to titillate the brain, stimulate the immorality'

I was so offended
As I sat for three hours
It was mental cruelty
I was so shocked

Just a little more flesh
Just a little more blood
A little closer to the edge
A little deeper in the mud
I'll never be the same

Sex, death and money, sonny
Makes this wicked world go round
Sex, death and money
It's the gospel here in Dragontown

Sex, death and money, honey
Grease the wheels and make them fly
Sex, death and money, sonny
That is why we all are gonna fry

Stuck my nose in the door
Ended up on the floor in the middle of an needy show
She danced on my lap
A couple hundred dollars later, I was up on a morals rap

I was so offended
As I sat for three hours
It was mental cruelty
I was so shocked

Just a little more flesh
Just a little more blood
A little closer to the edge
A little deeper in the mud
I'll never be the same

Sex, death and money, honey
Grease the wheels and make them fly
Sex, death and money, sonny
That is why we all are gonna
That is why we all are gonna fry
That is why we all are gonna fry

Sex, death and money
It's the gospel here in Dragontown
Sex, death and money, honey
That is why we all are gonna
That is why we all are gonna fry


5.Fantasy Man

I don't drink tea or white chablis
I sit around and watch tv
Don't send flowers or take showers
But I'll be there to pull your weeds
Oh yeah

I don't read books, I don't french cook
Or stroll around in galleries
I hate opera, I hate Oprah
Don't fill my head with poetry

You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?

Hey-hey, I ain't gonna change
A-hey-hey, don't you love me this way?
Hey-hey, I am what I am
So please understand I'm not your fantasy man

I've don't do dishes and I'm suspicious
Of any grown-up man who does
I'm homophobic, don't do aerobics
Just lay around and catch a buzz

You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?

Hey-hey, I ain't gonna change
A-hey-hey, don't you love me this way?
Hey-hey, I am what I am
So please understand I'm not your fantasy man

Hey-hey, I ain't gonna change
A-hey-hey, don't you love me this way?
Hey-hey, I am what I am
So please understand I'm not your fantasy man

Hey
Hey-hey
Hey
Hey-hey

You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?

Hey-hey, I ain't gonna change
A-hey-hey, don't you love me this way?
Hey-hey, I am what I am
So please understand I'm not your fantasy man

Hey-hey, I ain't gonna change
A-hey-hey, don't you love me this way?
Hey-hey, I am what I am
So please understand I'm not your fantasy man


6.Somewhere In The Jungle

There it stands, way up high
A million bodies piled to the sky
Arms and legs, feet and hands
Impossible to understand

Countless heads, ears and eyes
Never hear, never cry
Tribal chants, tribal war
Tribal death, tribal gore

And the scavengers are feeding
'Cause the killing fields are bleeding (somewhere)
Not a single soul is breathing
'Cause the Serengetti's bleeding (somewhere)

And the scavengers are feeding
'Cause the killing fields are bleeding (the rivers will flow
with blood)
Not a single soul is breathing
'Cause the Serengetti's bleeding

Listen somewhere in the jungle
You can hear the devil laughing
Somewhere

African genucide
Brother kill brother, side by side
Wild animals show their teeth
And run away in disbelief

And the scavengers are feeding
'Cause the killing fields are bleeding (somewhere)
Not a single soul is breathing
'Cause the Serengetti's bleeding (somewhere)

And the scavengers are feeding
'Cause the killing fields are bleeding (the river will flow with
blood)
Not a single soul is breathing
'Cause the Serengetti's bleeding (the mothers will cry)

Listen somewhere in the jungle
You can hear the devil laughing
Somewhere

Somewhere
The rivers will flow with blood
The mothers will cry their tears
They watch their sons die...

Listen somewhere in the jungle
You can hear the devil laughing
Somewhere...


7.DisGraceland

I wanna tell you a story
It happened long ago
About a redneck boy
Down from Tupelo

I got the slick black hair
I played a rock guitar
I liked to shake my hips, man
Then I went too far

He ate his weight in country ham
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland

I had a lot of girls, yeah
I had a lot of guns
When they found me dead, ow
The whole world was stunned

Went to the pearly gates
Said, 'I'm a here to sing'
And Peter said 'Well son,
You see, we already got ourselve a king'

He lived on southern deep-fried spam
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland

He finished his short life sweaty and bloated and stoned
Ow, a-hey-hey-hey
He ruled his domain and he died on the throne
No 'Yes-Men', no colonel, he went all alone

Hey, man, that looks like me down there on the floor

I heard the devil cry
Real loud and clear
'You were a big man there
You're just a sideman here

Well, I know your face
And I've heard your name
Looks like heaven's loss
Is gonna be my gain
I got plans for you, boy

He ate his weight in country ham
Killed on pills and woke in disgraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland
DisGraceland

Well, I woke up right here in disgraceland, yeah
DisGraceland

Thank you
Thank you very much


8.Sister Sara

Now I don't know but I've been told
There's a nun having fun and she lost her soul
She got cash, she got laid
Now she's dealin' with me and she's gonna get paid

She got caught with the bishop
Got caught with the abbot
Even cardinal sin tried to feed her habit

Now we get whores and pimps and skanks
But when your judgement came down even He gave thanks

Whatever happened to me
Can't remember my name
Flying so high on angelic wings
Flew too close to the flame

Sister Sara, it's your penalty for eternity
Did you think that you were saved?
You'll forget your old identity, who you used to be
Sister Sara, so depraved

Oh come, o ye faithless, get in line
You're gonna drown in the water, turn to wine
And you're all gonna wallow when you sin and shame
You had every opportunity to call His name

Don't look surprised, don't be in shock
You'll be a lovely little demon in my private stock
I'm just doing my job to pull you down
'Cause it's a one way ticket down to Dragontown

You got caught in my web
You made your own bed here
And now you must keep me well fed
You're mine, too bad
You're here for me
You're just here for me

Sister Sara, it's your penalty for eternity
Did you think that you were saved?
You'll forget your old identity, who you used to be
Sister Sara, so depraved

Moment to moment
Hour to hour
Forever and ever
Time after time after time after time after time

Sister Sara, it's your penalty for eternity
Did you think that you were saved?
You'll forget your old identity, who you used to be
Sister Sara, so depraved


9.Every Woman Has A Name

You were so beautiful
Like a child, young and full of life
Seems a hundred years ago
You saw everything
So much more tragedy than good
You even watched the world grow cold

And even when your world was shakin'
Even when your breath was taken
Even when your blue eyes turned to gray

Small town debutantes or queens
Every woman has a name
Cocktail waitresses with dreams
Every woman has a name
And every girl who's love survives
A broken heart to stay alive
You signed your picture in the frame
Every woman has a name

You had your love affair
Some were perfect but most of them were pain
Seems a hundred years ago
It took you to the highest hill
Left you standing, frozen in the rain
But you still feel the afterglow

And even when your world was shakin'
Even when your breath was taken
Even when your blue eyes turned to gray

Housewives cryin' on the phone
Every woman has a name
Sacred sisters, all alone
Every woman has a name

And even on the coldest day
When the kids are gone and moved away
It's lonely now, there's no one there to hold your hand and play

See it written on the grave
Every woman has a name


10.I Just Wanna Be God

I'm in control, I got a bullet-proof soul
And I'm full of self-esteem
I invented myself with no one's help
I'm a prototype supreme

I sit upon my private throne
And run my lifestyle all alone
Me, myself and I agree
We don't need nobody else

I never learned to bow, bend or crawl to any known authority
I really wanna build my statue tall, that's all

I'm just trying to be God
I only wanna be God
I just wanna be God
Why can't I be God?

I got no time to take advice
I wanna gamble my eternity with loaded dice
I don't need a preacher in my face
When I'm the omnipresent ruler of the human race

Ain't gonna spend my life being no one's fool
I was born to rock and I was born to rule
But if I'm wrong on judgement day
I'm royally screwed with hell to pay

I never learned to bow, bend or crawl to any known authority
I really wanna build my statue tall, that's all

I'm just trying to be God
I only wanna be God
I just wanna be God
Why can't I be God?

I'm just trying to be God
I only wanna be God
I just wanna be God
Why can't I be God?

I'm just trying to be God
I only wanna be God
I just wanna be God
Why can't I be God?

I'm just trying to be God
I only wanna be God
I just wanna be God
Why can't I be God?


11.It's Much Too Late

I never kicked a dog, a child or my wife
I never looked at pornography
I swear it on my holy saint-mother's life
But somehow she's down here with me

The road to hell is littered with nice guys with good intentions
But once you're there, you're there, it's much too late
I can cry and scream it's just not fair
To leave me here like you don't care
There must be some mistake up there in heaven

Now it's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late

I never stole a thing, a toy or a kiss
My conscience is as clean as can be
And when I was a teen all the sex that I missed
Was an abstinence blessing to me

The road to hell is littered with nice guys with good intentions
But once you're there, you're there. it's much too late
I can cry and scream it's just not fair
To leave me here like you don't care
There must be some mistake up there in heaven

Now it's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late

Now it's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late

Much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late
It's much too late


12.The Sentinel

I'm not a Buddha boy
I'm not a Muslim man
Not a Christian or a Jew

I'm not a Mormon freak
I'm not a Catholic geek
And I'm nothing at all like you

My mind, my heart, my soul is calm
While I sit here sodering my C-2 bomb
Got some wires crossed in my twisted head
Connect the green wire here, or was it red?

'Cause it's my fate
I operate on hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
I go by many other names, but now

I am the sentinel
I want the world to know
I'm sending you all to hell
I'm tired and I'm wired here to blow

There's something disturbing going on in my turban
I'm home, home on de range
I feel my meditation so deep within
While my medication's kicking in

'Cause it's my fate
I operate on hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
I go by many other names, but now

I am the sentinel
I want the world to know
I'm sending you all to hell
I'm tired and I'm wired here to blow

I am the sentinel
I want the world to know
I'm sending you all to hell
I'm tired and I'm wired here to blow
