The Awakening Lyrics

I wake up in the basement,
I'm so hungry, I'm dry,
I must be here sleepwalking,
Mustn't I ?
Getting up from my easy chair
Looking for my wife
Following a trial of crimson
Spots that lead into the night.
Suddenly I realize,
I see it all through real eyes -
These crimson spots
Are dripping from my hand
And oh...it makes me feel like a man

He's not twisted. I don't believe his lyrics always reflect his lifestyle.

You have to be twisted to write something like this. I never said it was a bad thing.

s'all part of the steven thing.. years ago, the awakening and steven.. all one story :) Alice Cooper kicks serious butt.

Cover art for The Awakening lyrics by Alice Cooper

The song is based on a Nightmare Alice had, in which he killed his wife.

Actually the entire album is based on it.

Hence we have "Welcome to My Nightmare"

Okay so Steven passed out, and then woke up in the basement. He's looking for his wife. Instead, what he finds are a bunch of bloodstains. You guessed it. They lead to Steven's diarrhea explosion in the tub, sink, and toilet. He feels like a man because he didn't realize that much poop could come out of him.

@SMUSER17506205, you're full of shit.
