Alice Cooper - Second Coming / Ballad of Dwight Fry

Second Coming / Ballad of Dwight Fry by Alice Cooper
Album: Love It To Death.....Year: 1971 Alice does things to get a reaction, so I've done the same on this piece. Remember, it's done for fun and not meant to be serious. (lyrics below)

I couldn't tell
If the bells were getting louder
The songs they ring I finally recognize
I only know hell is getting hotter
Devil's getting smarter all the time

And it would be nice
To walk upon the water
To talk again to angels
On my side

Time is getting closer
I read it on a poster
Fanatical exposers
On corners prophesied

It would be nice
To walk upon the water
To talk again to angels
At my side

I just come back to show you
All my words are golden
So have no Gods before me
I'm the light

Mommy where's daddy? He's been gone for so long.
Do you think he'll ever come home?

I was gone for fourteen days
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
lyin on the floor

I was gone for all those days
but I, was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
in the danger zone

See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my only mind explode
Since I've gone away

I think I lost some weight there
and I--- I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin don't come very easy
in a straight white vest

Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old--- old
I'd give her back all of her play things
even, even the ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
when I've gone insane

I wanna get out of here, I wanna get out of here, I gotta, I gotta get out of here, I gotta get out of here
Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere
Ya gotta let me out of here, Let me outta here, I gotta get outta here, Let me outta here,
I gotta get outta here, Let me outta here, I gotta get outta here

See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my only mind explode
Blow up in my face

I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
and I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe

Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
and so I am not free

I DIDN'T WANNA BE, I DIDN'T WANNA BE, I DIDN'T WANNA BE, I DIDN'T WANNA BE
LEAVE ME ALONE I DIDN'T WANNA BE
DON'T TOUCH ME!!!!
(See my lonely life unfold)
(I see it every day)
LEAVE ME ALONE I DIDN'T WANNA BE, DON'T TOUCH ME!!!!
(See my lonely mind explode)
(when I've gone INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNE!

@TheWheeze100

That image is from the classic "Black Sabbath" album, "Heaven and Hell". The first with frontman, His Majesty Ronnie James Dio. I know that "...Rocker" knows this, but if YOU do not... then relagate yourself to the "Nickleback" or "Blink182" pages with your tiny, infant-self!

@TheWheeze100 It would be nice to walk upon the water,..talk again to angels by my side.

After listening to Alice for more then 25 years, I can say this without a doubt....the man has very little ego, appreciates everything he has always known that he is where he is because of me and you.....gotta love that about the guy...and oh yea...listen to his songs closely....he is a christian. A true genius...cant believe it took him so long to get into the HOF

[toodazegone1965]

to me this is by far his best album......fuckin classic....that band he had back then where awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[THXcooper]

[THXcooper]

@Paganguy1 I had thought he was pagan with the lyrics..However he claims to be christian in person. Can you substanciate your claim?

[xembryo]

@Dys1970 Yes, Vincent (Alice) is a Christian!

Google: A satanist? No, I run a Bible group! Alice Cooper on his REAL life

[TheWheeze100]

@highwayrobberyrocker Sun Arise!!!! Thanks for posting this!

[TheWheeze100]

@Paganguy1 nope....just saying how cool that pic is.  I know I had seen it somewhere before. Bought Love it to Death and the first Sabbath album when they were released waaaay back. Still have them both actually. Gosh those were works of art, and still are!
