It was a hell of a party
We were shaking wall to wall
There were girls in the bathtub now
There were girls in the hall
Little Richard started talkin'
We were feeling so fine
There was somethin' all around me
And it chilled me down to my spine

And the beast came in the room
Evil to the core
The beast was in the room
I don't wanna be here no more

Havin' a nightmare
Wake up scrеamin' in the night now
In the night
Must be a nightmarе
Got me reachin' for the light now
This can't be real
It can't be, can't be real, no, no, no

I pulled the covers over my head
And I curled up in fright
I don't need the-these problems now
The-these problems in my life
Sister, sister started talkin'
She said, "I'm with you, babe"
But that evil presence, now
No, it just won't go away
And the beast was in the room
No, he wouldn't leave
The beast was in the room
I'm afraid the beast was me

Havin' a nightmare
Wake up shakin'
Shakin' in the night
Oh, now, now
Must be a nightmare
Got me reachin' for the light now
This can't be real
No, no, no

I love you, baby
We ain't livin' in sin
You and me, baby
Won't let the devil in

No, no, no
Here we go again, now, yeah

Reachin', reachin' for the light now

In the middle of the night now, yeah
Middle of the night, yeah
I love you, baby
We ain't livin' in sin
You and me, baby
Won't let the devil in

Havin' a nightmare
Got me shakin' in the night
Must be a nightmare
Wake up reachin' for the light
Havin' a nightmare
No, no
Wake up shakin' in the night, now
Shakin', shakin'
Must be a nightmare
Got me reachin', reachin' for the light

This can't be real
This can't be real, no, no
I've got those nightmares
Shakin', shakin' in the dark
This can't be real, no, no, no
