"SPRINGWOOD" Lyrics by Heleena (1994) taken from the incomplete script 'The Forgotten Elm Street Child' (1993). To be sung to the tune of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'
VERSE ONE It's Close to sleeptime, and something evil's lurking in your dream
Inside your nightmare, he's about to pounce and ready to make you scream
Try not to sleep, 'cos Freddy's in there waiting for your entry
You start to dream, and very soon you're fighting for your life, you're slashed with his knives
CHORUS 'Cos this is Springwood; Freddy's town
And in this place you have no right to live 'cos he wants your life
Yeah this is Springwood; Freddy's town
You're fighting for your life because he's gonna kill you tonight
VERSE TWO He starts to chase you, but as you run you fall down to the ground
You hide behind a bush and sit there trying not to make a sound
He knows you're there, but teasingly pretends he cannot see you
He bides his time, then pounces from behind surprisingly and slashes your body
REPEAT CHORUS
Night starts to fall and your bed starts to call; you feel so fatigue
There's no escape 'cos you can't stay awake this time (chant freddy's rhyme)
This could be the end of your life.
VERSE THREE You hear his cold blades, sending shivers up and down your your back
While in the dark streets, you're almost being killed from a heart attack
You're all alone, and no one knows that Freddy's out there with you
You try to scream, but no one seems to hear your fading cries; you're paralysed.
REPEAT CHORUS
Darkness falls, everybody's home
But in your dreams you're all alone
Freddy waits for you to sleep
So in your nightmare he can creep
And though you try to stay awake your eyes are getting heavy
At morning time when the sun comes up
Your body they shall bury
(1,2, Freddy's coming for you...)
