I Love The Dead/Go To Hell/Wish You Were Here
Alice Cooper
The Alice Cooper Show (1977)

I Love The Dead
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

Go To Hell
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
