Lyrics:

i been a rocker since i don't know when,
i been a roller since a way back then,
oh, yeah.
but late at night when the boogie's through,
i go to bed same as you,
oh, yeah.

but when the rock & roll nightmare comes,
the devil's gonna make me eat my drums!

i try to fight it, but i just can't win;
i chase it out, but it comes back in
again-
it's like a weight pressing on my brain;
if i were smart, i would go insane,
oh, yeah.

'cause when the rock & roll nightmare's here,
i start to worry 'bout my whole career!

and when the rock & roll nightmare's gone,
i jump about with my pyjamas on!
