And I never got that letter that you never wrote
Took too much effort to cut out letters for a ransom note

But you said it in your song, you warned the whole town
The girl got out and —she gets around

I’m the nightmare on Elm Street
If you’re sleeping with her, you’re dealing with me in your dreams
And there’s no safe space, there’s no time out
Caffeine heartbeat, see me with your eyes shut

I'm all alone in here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Get me out, get me out
Get me out now, get me out
Let me in, let me in
I know you’re in there

You said say it now and so I talk talk talked
Talked them into boarding the bedrooms off

But every fairy tale needs a good old fashioned villain
The bad girls fell asleep, change of plans and I’m the villain

I’m the nightmare on Elm Street
If you’re sleeping with her, you’re dealing with me in your dreams
And there’s no safe space, there’s no time out
Caffeine heartbeat, see me with your eyes shut

Sign this contract
One look of me
Turned insomniac
Field of sheep
There’s no going back
One look of me
Well, it sounds like a dream living on Elm Street

I'm all alone in here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Get me out, get me out
Get me out now, get me out
Get me out, get me out
Get me out now, get me out

Nine’s an odd number, and she’s pretty strange
You went to write a love song but it got too late
Daydream apparatus is a good disguise
Too bad you can't daydream at night

Clouds roll in
Where’d you go (Get me out)
Dive off the plank of
Pinocchio’s nose

Clouds darken
When I go outside (Get me out)
Sign this contract
You’ll never— sleep again
