I Love the Dead/Go to Hell/Wish You Were Here [The Alice Cooper Show]

I love the dead before they're cold

They're bluing flesh for me to hold

Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing

I love the dead before they rise

No farewells, no goodbyes

I never knew your rotting face

While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave

I have other uses for you, Darling

We love the dead

We love the dead, Yeah

For criminal acts and violence on the stage

For being a brat

Refusing to act your age

For all of the decent citizens you've enraged

You can go to Hell

For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly

For making us doubt our parents authority

For choosing to be a living obscenity

You can go to Hell

You're something that never should have happened

You even make your Grandma sick

You'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane

You'd gift wrap a leper

And mail him to your Aunt Jane

You'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane

You can go to Hell

You're something that never should have happened

You even make your Grandma sick

For criminal acts and violence on the stage

For being a brat

Refusing to act your age

For all of the decent citizens you've enraged

You can go to Hell

Wish You Were Here

I sent you a postcard

Thought it would be funny

Would have sent a souvenir

But they took all my money

It's pretty warm down here but it ain't sunny

And I'm having a Hell of a time, my dear

Wish you were here

I tried to call you

I tried to call you

Long distance operators that only stall you

Besides the damn rates are so high

They just appall you

And I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

And I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

It started out on a nice vacation

Left the station right on time

Now it's turned to near frustration

I'm just a prisoner in time

Can't get a ticket to get me home, my dear

And I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

Having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

Having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

Seeing all the sights here

I'm getting lonely

I'd show you all the film I took if they would only get ley me go home

Dear, sincerely

I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here

I'm having a Hell of time, my dear

Wish you were here
