'Wake The Dead' is a good song. It is quiet and calculating, with menacing lyrics and a sly vocal performance. It sounds like there is a drum machine providing the rhythm. The serial killer is on the rampage!
Ozzy Osbourne co-wrote the song, and also appears on it, providing vocals and playing the harmonica
Alice Cooper - Vocals

03/11 - Wake The Dead (Cooper, Osbourne, Saber) "How many more will cross my path
How many more must die
I never wonder where they come from
I never wonder why
You don't know what's going on inside of me
You don't wanna know what's running through my mind, yeah yeah yeah
(Shake.... Shake...)
You wake up every morning thinking everything's okay
But if by chance you walk my way you just may seal your fate
Give me a redhead, give me a brunette, send a blonde to me
When I unwind I'm colour blind, they're all the same to me
(Shake.... Shake...)
Shake my head, wake the dead
Shake my head, wake the dead
Run for your life, you better run for your life
Run for your life, you gotta run for your life
I just do the things I do, it's natural to me
There's no rhyme or reason for my odd insanity
You don't know what's going on inside of me
You don't wanna know what's going through my mind, yeah yeah yeah
Shake my head, wake the dead
Shake my head, wake the dead
Shake my head, wake the dead
Shake my head, wake the dead
Run for your life you better run for your life
Run for your life you gotta run for your life
(you gotta.... you gotta.... you gotta.... you gotta....
you gotta.... wake up wake up, you gotta.... wake up wake up,
wake up wake up, wake up wake up, wake up wake up,
wake up wake up, wake up wake up, wake up wake up,
wake up wake up)" 'Catch Me If You Can' is a return to classic Alice of olde. The lyrics are not Shakespeare, and the tune may be nothing more than a basic three-minute rock song, but it has a nice pop melody and it's fun to listen to. It fits in well with the concept and it's well-executed (pardon the pun)

04/11 - Catch Me If You Can (Cooper, Saber, Hampton) "She was not the first, and he won't be my last
My hunger and my thirst, My brilliant future and my ugly past
They'll all be here with me, 'till my web is spun
My blessing and my curse, there'll be no rest until my work is done
Catch me, catch me if you can
Catch me, catch me when you can
I can't control myself
You won't have a clue of what is coming next
What I'm gonna do, surely classical in it's effect
Which limb will I choose, which one gets sawed in half
Which leg would you lose to an arachnophobic psychopath
Catch me, catch me if you can
I wrestled with the devil and I'll do it again
Catch me, catch me when you can
I can't control myself
Catch me, catch me if you can
I'm scheming with the demons and I'll do it again
Catch me, catch me when you can
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
Catch me, catch me if you can
Catch me, catch me when you can
Catch me, catch me if you can
I'm scheming with the demons and I'll do it again
Catch me, catch me when you can
I can't control myself
I just can't control myself
I'm scheming with the demons and I'll do it again
I wrestled with the devil and I'd do it again
I'm scheming with the demons and I'll do it again"
