I originally wrote this track (music minus vocals) for Aerosmith, around the same time I came up with the musical sketches for "Deuces Are Wild" and "The Other Side". I played the idea for Steven Tyler but he didn't think it was right for Aerosmith. A few
months later I played it for Alice Cooper. Alice liked it, and he and I finished the song together. We decided the lyric should begin with the description of a New York apartment on a hot, humid, summer night. We talked about a guy getting out of bed and splashing water on his face, trying to cool down. As we sat there with pens in our hands, staring at a blank sheet of paper, Alice came up with the line: "I splash water on my face ..." - and then he looked at me, hoping I might suggest the next line of lyric. I thought for a moment, then I said: "... to cool my brow". "That's a great idea", said Alice in a dead serious tone, "except some of my fans might not know what 'brow' means". |

| Lyrics: | Well, I wake up burnin' in a soaking sweat My pillows are drippin' and the sheets are wet I jump out of bed and I turn on the light This happens to me every night Sometimes you turn into a snake with long black hair Then you turn into an angel, blonde and fair You can turn yourself blue and I don't care You can change your look You can change your race But it's always your touch And always your face Dirty dreams - How you wanna do me Dirty dreams - Let me get thru Dirty dreams - A triple X-rated movie starring me and you Well, I close my eyes And you open your lips There's a shock from my head to my fingertips I fall thru a hole cuz I can't get a grip The room starts to spin and the world starts to turn My heart catches fire and my bed starts to burn Dirty dreams - How you wanna do me Dirty Dreams - Anything for you, babe Dirty Dreams - Technicolor movie starring me and you Make my dreams come true Shake my nights Rattle my sleep Roll my eyes, I'm in too deep |
