Stay Wide Awake lyrics

[Intro]

Yo, yo, follow me

Come with me to the dark side of the force

No man would boldly go to this place

The devil only knows of this world

So dark and oh so cold, it's oh so cold

Oh so cold, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?

Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where on-ly some will go

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows

Stay wide awake

[Verse 1]

Fe-fi-fo-fum, I think I smell the scent of a placenta

I enter Central Park, it's dark, it's winter in December

I see my target, put my car in park, and approach a tender

Young girl by the name of Brenda, and I pretend to befriend her

Sit down beside her like a spider, hi there girl, you might've

Heard of me before, see whore

You're the kind of girl that I'd a–ssault and rape

Then figure why not try to make your pussy wider

Fuck you with an umbrella

Then open it up while the shit's inside ya

I'm the kind of guy that's mild

But I might flip and get a little bit wilder

Impregnate a lesbian, yeah

Now let's see her have triplets, and I'll di–sintegrate them babies

As soon as they're out her with formalde–hyde and cyanide

Girl, you can try and hide, you can try to scream louder

No need for no gunpowder, that only takes all the fun out of

Murderin', I'd rather go vinn-vinn, and now you see just how the

Fuck I do just what I do when I cut right through your scalp, uhh

Shit, wait a minute, I mean skull

My knife seems dull, pull another one out, uh

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?

Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where on-ly some will go

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows

Stay wide awake

[Verse 2]

So dark and so cold, my friends don't know this other side of me

There's a monster inside of me, it's quite ugly and it frightens me

But they can't see what I can see, there's a vacancy in my tummy

It's making me play hide-and-seek like Jason, I'm so hungry

She's naked, see, no privacy, but I can see she wants me

So patient, see, I try to be, but gee, why does she taunt me?

Pulls the drapes and she goes right to sleep

And I creep right through the front, see

So blatantly, but silently 'cause I know that she's sound 'sleep

"Who's waking me so violently, and why's he on top of me?"

"He's raping me," she tries to scream

"Somebody please get him off me

He's taping me, he's biting me, he's laughing like it's funny"

She's scraping me, she's fighting me

She's scratching like some dumb freak

Escaping me, no dice, you see, I might just be Ted Bundy

Or Satan, gee, what a sight to see, I'm dancing in my red panties

I'm crazy, but it's alright with me, man, life can be so empty

Stay away from me 'cause I'm dancing

To quite a different drum beat

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?

Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where on-ly some will go

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows

Stay wide awake

[Verse 3]

Better try to stay wide awake

Or you might end up found dead by the lake

Soon as you lay me down to sleep

Bitch, your soul I'mma try to take

Pray for light of day right away

Why do they try to fight today?

I must make them pay twice as much

Might as well put the knife away

Now I use power tools, how 'bout now, are you in the shower?

Scour you for six hours 'til outage of power outlets

How did you figure out I was down in your basement? Now ya

Must've just heard the sound of my stomach

Growling from down there

Prowler, there's no one fouler

Bound ya, that's how they found ya

Face down in the tub, I drown ya

With piles of downers around ya

Such nostalgia and power, such prowess, look how you cower

Jump out on you now like I was a Jawa from fuckin' Star Wars

Jabba the Hutt, biddy-bye-bye

Biddy-bye-bye, it's time to die-die

Ought to not even bother to scream, it don't even matter

Amazing when grazing skin with these razor blades he waves at ya

Not ya everyday Damien, bathe me in holy water

Nothing like Son of Sam, so please understand

There's no gun in hand

Where's the thrill in the hunt?

There's no fun in that, here I come with axe

Fun to act like lumberjack when I'm hacking 'em up with that

What was that? Dial 9-1-1, someone's coming in from the back

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon as my flow starts I compose art like the ghost of Mozart

Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't

Boy, you think you're clever, don't ya?

Girl, you think you're so smart

Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark

[Chorus]

A world so dark, a world so cold

A world where on-ly some will go

But none return, when will they learn?

Where do they go? God only knows

Stay wide awake
