A Bedtime Story Lyrics - Alice Cooper

Lay still, Steven, and I'll tell you a bedtime story. 

I'll tell you a bedtime story that's not for all 

children. It's a very special story, that only special 

children will understand. It's a half-awake story, and 

it will be better if you close your eyes. It's a 

story that takes place in a dream, like other 

nightmares you have known. It's a dream that Alice has 

dreamed. You can dream along with him. You can follow 

Alice down the staircase, deep, down the stairs to the 

pit where he doesn't want to go, but he has to. 

If you go to sleep now, Steven, you can go down the 

long and endless stairway and sing sweet songs to Alice 

and free him. And if you can't get to sleep, Steven, 

and in the middle of the night you get out of bed, when 

everything is quiet and the trees are still and the 

birds are hiding from the dark, you can lie down on 

your bedroom floor and press your ear tightly to the 

boards. If you listen very carefully you can hear 

Alice searching for a way out, forever chasing 

rainbows.
