Misfits - American Nightmare Lyrics

ACTUAL LYRICS:
Hot Chevy on a Friday Night
And the sweat drips down my spine
I put an axe in my baby’s head
I’m gonna end up doin’ time

She looked so good in red
American Nightmare runnin’ scared

Shouldn’t oughta done it
Shouldn’t oughta played
Shouldn’t ought I said hey

I had to split your head
American Nightmare runnin’ scared

Headin’ down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the law won’t get me the devil will,
But not without a fight

This highway will never end I say
American Nightmare runnin’ scared
American Nightmare runnin’ scared

Headin’ down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the law won’t get me the devil will,
But not without a fight

This highway will never fucking end
American Nightmare runnin’ scared
American Nightmare runnin’ scared

The explicit lyric tag is a joke because this was recorded in a way that only those with the lyric sheet could understand it and only their true fans and fiends knew what they were saying

Hot cherry on Friday night
When the sun goes down my spine
I put an axe in my baby's head
I'm gonna end up doing time

She looks so good in red
American nightmare running scared

She shoulda been hard to get
She shoulda been hard to kill
She shoulda been hard to kill, hey

I had to split your head
American nighmare running scared

I'm heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the lord don't get me the devil will
But not without a fight

Does this highway never f*cking ends
American nightmare running scared
American nightmare running scared

I'm heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the lord don't get me the devil will
But not without a fight

This highway never f*cking ends
American nightmare running scared
Hey, American nightmare running scared

hot chevy sweat drips down

Swell tune man, the sickest

Reminds me of Dread Zeppelin. 👍

Tarantino needs to put this in a movie bar scene or some shit

Hellvis!

this is the best song ever created

Elvis.....back from the grave!

This must have been the time that Elvis tried out for misfits.. between Michael Graves and Glenn Danzig I knew the King was still alive Long Live Elvis

Give her the axe, max.

Danzig’s lyrics never cease to amaze me, a true American poet in my opinion.

When I was a teenager I had my parents convinced that this was a Elvis bootleg LOL

That's honestly one of the best things I've ever heard, touche' my friend, touche'

Ron Criswell I don’t get it

This should have been the final track on Walk Among Us!

Hellvis!

Elvis at his best

I play this for my wife when I'm pist!

If you think this sounds like Elvis, look up their cover of Blue Christmas by Elvis. Its live from 1978. Only part of the song is played, which is all you need. It then is perfectly segued into We Are 138. Give it a listen!

Ladies and gentlemen our special guest tonight.... ZOMBIE ELVIS PRESLEY...and the crowd goes berserk.🤘😜🤘

SHOULDNT BE HARD.TOO GUT

@localhand no and no

Best song ever written

it is the correct lyrics from lyrics of the left hand danzig book

Evil Elvis!!!!!!

That's Danzig for ya XD

Johnny Cash meets Elvis meets.... Mr Danzig.

But johnny cash and elvis did meet

@Valeria Gonzalez
Johnny Cash, Elvis, Carl Perkins & Buddy Holly all did a tour together before they were ever "household names"
Can you imagine how amazing that tour would be!? If I had a time machine..I'd use it selfishly to go back in time and witness one show from that tour.

uff, que buena cancion, escuchando y viajando en una carretera, perfecta

Sounds almost like they had Elvis Presley come in to do singing for this song.

Hey look, it's my doppleganger. I would love to stay & chat but I have a lunch meeting with Cliff Huxtable.

@Rusty Kuntz orly

@Rusty Kuntz and can you specifically explain why these kuntz are rusty I mean let's get specific a king really can become rusty quite young sadly so I mean
. Since your names rusty kuntz what type of kuntz specifically are rusty to you

Rusty Kuntz was a baseball player in the 1980's, played for the Twins & Tigers & is actually pronounced KOONTZ but its much funnier the other way LOL.

@Rusty Kuntz do you have a predominant British ancestry cuz if so that makes sense why that's funny to you ;)

My only problem with this song is that it’s WAY too short!

Spades-of-Dreams All Misfits songs are like that

Thats one of my favorite things about their songs. And you can just keep playing them.

Spades-of-Dreams literally all their songs are about 1 min 50

because they're 12 bar blues songs sped up

the misfits are what i like to call "evil rockabiliy"

literally only this song lol

Tristan Lightle I agree that's a good way to describe misfits.dark but still upbeat

That's called Psychobilly, and the Misfits arguably accidentally invented it.

The Misfits were the Misfits

Misfits have never sounded as bouncy as this.

Such a ghoulish classic - MISFITS RULE
