Anyway, this is a key moment in "Welcome 2 My Nightmare".
In the previous song ("The Nightmare Returns") Steven fallen asleep, despite his effort to stay awake ("Caffeine"), when he woke up he was kidnapped ("I woke up in a box car / I wasn't in my bed") but he thinks it's part of a new nightmare ("I'm in someone else's dream").
Why Steven was kidnapped? Maybe because he is someone famous ("But I'm a big celebrity / Known all 'round the land") but the kidnappers seems to doesn't care about it (Well buddy, you ain't no one here / Man, you ain't in demand")
Anyway, Steven is going to die cuz he is in a high-speed vehicle, the "runaway train" , although he thinks it's only a nightmare (Speedin' towards a flamin' wall / like a screamin' sonic boom / I really gotta wake up now / Or I may meet my doom"). I was thinking that the "runaway train" was a car, but how Steven and "thirteen angry men" could be together in any car? Clowns kidnapped him?
In the end, he died, and it hurt a lot ("So all that I remember / Is how much my body hurt"). Also, now that Steven is "dead" he knows that something bad awaits for him (Now I'm sleepin' in the graveyard / On the wrong side of the dirt").
Oh, there is also another important point about this song. When Steven dies he still thinks that it's only a nightmare and that he is not really dead, only sleeping (You can check this statement in "I Gotta Get Outta Here").
