Theme
Based on a real-life experience of Dave Mustaine, the song describes the paranoia and fear of sneaking into one's house after cheating on a partner. The lyrics humorously/darkly portray the attempt to go undetected, knowing the potential fatal consequences if caught.
Lyrics
I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I've had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed
I know if I wake her
I'll wake up dead
I wonder, will she find out
About the other, other lover
Diana
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead, and buried
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead
