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 and 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 and roll nightmare's here
I start to worry 'bout my whole career
And when the rock and roll nightmare's gone
I jump about with my pajamas on
