Boingo Alive

Oingo Boingo Boingo Alive Lyrics
1.Capitalism

There's nothing wrong with capitalism
There's nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don't try to make me feel guilty
I'm so tired of hearing you cry

There's nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me i'll say it's just fine
There's nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I'm so tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution
Bringin' down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby!

If it ain't one thing
Then it's the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone's brother
I've got to tell you you're a pain in the ass

You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you

You're just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that we've got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain . . .

(repeat first verse)

(repeat chorus)

There's nothing wrong with capitalism
There's nothing wrong with capitalism
There's nothing wrong with capitalism
There's nothing wrong with capitalism


2.Cinderella Undercover

When i was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldn't talk, never had nothin to say
But now i'm grown, nothing much seems to have changed
I think i'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarves
Did snow white really die while fighting in the war?
They were the only friends i ever trusted
Now they're scattered, and livin' in the city
Unlisted numbers, huh

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead

The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do
Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator won't let me through
I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
I think i'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I heard a rumor, they said it's gone nuclear
I stockpile cigarettes, and double bold the door
A sanctuary for all my friends
We'll stay in bed until the world ends
So please don't wake me, i gotta get some sleep

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
I think i'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this a fairy tale, this can't be real
There's fighting all around, they're shooting in the fields
They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes
Survival is essential, at any cost or any price
The cartoon animals on old mcdonald's farm
Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
The seven dwarves, ha!, there's only four alive today
Cinderella's working for the cia

Cinderella, the fairy tale's over
You should know, you got the scars to prove it
And your skin isn't as soft as it used to
But i don't care, come on you said it baby

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead

4.Dead Man's Party

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

Chorus
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . dead man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

Chorus

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .


5.Dead Or Alive

There in the shadows, looks like a hand
Without its owner, to give it a command
It's got a purpose but i don't know what it is
I'm in trouble

There in the streets, looks like a man
But something wrong that i don't understand
His eyes are open but he don't see a thing
His skin is peeling off, his bones are sticking out
I'm getting scared

Oh my god (is it dead?)
Is it living? (is it dead?)
Is it dead or alive?
(is it dead?), is it dead? (is it dead?)
Is it dead? (is it dead?)
Is it dead or alive?

Hiding in the cupboards, like little mice
Hiding in the frigerator, that isn't nice
It's not an animal, it don't have legs
No one else can see it

It moves so fast, corner of my eye
Look again it's gone, it's hiding
Won't somebody help me, doesn't anybody care?
It waits so patiently, for me to lose my guard
I'm getting scared

Is it dead, is it
(is it dead)
Is it dead
(is it dead)
Is it dead or alive
(is it dead)
Is it dead
(is it dead)
Is it dead, is it

I remember there was a time
When dead and buried meant just that
Underneath the cold dark ground
Things stay put!

Oh them bones they make them bodies walk
Them bones, them bones
If they could only talk!

Is it dead (fade)


6.Elevator Man

Who's goin down
Who's goin down - who's goin down
I ride my elevator
Through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard baby
There's no getting off

I'm a silent operator won't you please take my hand
I am so polite - i'm the elevator man

Friction and harmony - who's gonna ride with me
I'm the elevator man

Who's going down who's comin with me
Who wants to take a chance
On a piece of abstract reality
It's only just a dance
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man
Who's goin down yeah - movin slow without a sound

Who's going down - who's going down - who's going down


7.Goodbye-goodbye

Oh, i know something
About the ways of loving
And i tell you, baby,
That something's wrong
Look to the sky above and the mud below
Something drives me crazy, got to got to get away
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!

Without a doubt, i'm telling you i'm burnt out
My tank is running on empty for far too long
Woah! i need fuel 'cause i'm getting so low
Something drives me crazy, got to, got to get away
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!

I need fuel, just the kind you give me
Makes me feel so bad
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!

I can't believe
I'm still around
It's getting kinda late
Gonna leave
For a change of scenery
I'm going crazy
It's not the same
Since you've been around

I'm crazy, so crazy
You treat me like a dirty clown
You're always kickin' my dog around
I never get nothin' but constant abuse from you
You couldn't care less what i think, or my point of view

You're always puttin' the make on my friends, always giving
Them eyes and the dirty lies 'bout me and you, well i'm
Through, it's the end of the line for you babe, here's a
Ticket one way cincinnati, i'm sendin' you home to your ma
And your daddy, so don't try to call me, you'll only be wastin'
your
Time!

Oh, i know something
About the ways of loving
And i tell you, baby,
That something's wrong
Look to the sky above and the mud below
Something drives me crazy, got to got to get away
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!


8.Gratitude

Life's been so good to me
Has it been good to you
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be
(now is that gratitude)

Now is that gratitude

Or is it really love
Some kind of reality
That fits just like a glove
Now is that gratitude
For everything i've done
Or is it something else
That's got me on the run

In the middle of a big tornado
On the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale
All the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbor
In a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator
In the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution
In the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table
In the stillness of disgrace

(i used to eat little girls i knew
For breakfast
I used to fly high up in the sky
I used to chew up rocks and
Spit out gravel
I had a heart as cold as ice)

But when i think of you
And what you've done to me
You took away my hope
You took away my fantasy
I once had lots of pride
The world was in my hands
I lived way at the top
Of castles made of sand

Ooh . . .
I dream of you sometimes
Ooh . . .
I dream of you sometimes

In the middle of a big tornado . . .

Life's been so good to me . . .


9.Grey Matter

They say you're stupid
That you're too young to vote
They say you'll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat

They say you can't think
That you haven't got a brain
That you're just there to listen
That you're just being trained

Chorus
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head
There's something inside your head

They say you lost the ability to even think
That your tiny little brain
Slipped down the kitchen sink

They say that you'll buy anything
That they turn your way
That you'll listen to everything
That they decide to play

Chorus
Grey matter grey matter ooh . . .
Grey matter grey matter ooh . . .
Grey matter grey matter ooh . . .
Grey matter grey matter ooh . . .

Bridge
I think you like it--like it
To be told what to do--isn't that true
I think you're better--better--better off
Stone cold dead--without your head

They say you're stupid
That you're too young to vote
They say you'll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat

If they say lie down, you'll do it
If they say--buy it now--you'll do it
If they say--turn around--you'll do it
If they say--hit the ground--you'll do it
If they say--bite the big weenie--you'll do it
If they say--wasn't that good--you'll do it
If they say--bend over baby--you'll do it
If they say--take it and like it--you'll do it

Chorus


10.Help Me

When you spend your whole life
Building stone castles
When the walls start to crumble
Exposed to the world
When the wind burns my face
And the smoke burns my eyes
I can't ever cry
I can't ever cry

Chorus
You gotta help . . .
To make me somebody
You gotta help . . .
To open my eyes

The temperature's rising
How a cool drink would help
I've been thirsty for years
I've been thirsty for years

I'm hungry for something . . .
Just the touch of your flesh
To sooth and refresh . . .
To sooth and refresh.

Chorus


11.Home Again

Where is she going - ooh, she looks like she's lost
Won't someone help her - somebody give her a hand
She's got such sweet eyes - look like they've seen too much
Knew someone like here - nobody helped, but she's
Home again...home again...home again

Where are you going - to see a crazy old man
What will he tell you - he'll tell me where i'm going
What will you do then - i might just quit my job
What will you do then - i'm gonna find my way
Home again...home again...home again

(chorus)
(where're we going, where're we going, home again,
We're home again, we're home)

Where is he going - why does he walk that way
Sticking his chest out - what is he trying to say
He's got charisma - but when he's all alone
He curls up in a ball - and wishes that he was
Home again...home again...home again

Where are we going - why do we feel so small
Alone and helpless - in this big crazy world
Looking for something - that's so hard to describe
But just like children - going along for the
Ride again...ride again...ride again

(chorus)

Well, ain't that something - guess i lost my head
Must have took a wrong turn - when i got out'a bed
Ended up on the wrong street - wrong side of town
People here are the wrong type - they've got me down

I'm eating the wrong food - drinkin' the wrong wine
Can't hardly see straight - can't walk the line
Shakin' all the wrong hands - makin' the wrong talk
Steppin' on the wrong feet - every time i walk

(chorus)


12.Just Another Day

(there's life underground)

I feel it all around / i feel it in my bones
My life is on the line / when i'm away from home
When i step out the door / the jungle is alive
I do not trust my ears / i don't believe my eyes
I will not fall in love / i cannot risk the bet
Cause hearts are fragile toys / so easy to forget

It's just another day / there's murder in the air
It drags me when i walk / i smell it everywhere
It's just another day / where people cling to light
To drive away the fear / that comes with every night

Chorus
It's just another . . . . . . . it's just another day
It's just another . . . . . . . it's just another day . . .

It's just another day--when people wake from dreams
With voices in their ears--that will not go away

I had a dream last night / the world was set on fire
And everywhere i ran / there wasn't any water
The temperature increased / the sky was crimson red
The clouds turned into smoke / and everyone was dead
(but) there's a smile on my face . . . for everyone
There's a golden coin . . . that reflects the sun
There's a lonely place . . . that's always cold
There's a place in the stars . . . for when you get old

There's razors in my bed / that come out late at night
They always disappear / before the morning light
I'm dreaming again / of life underground
It doesn't ever move / it doesn't make a sound
And just when i think--that things are in their place
The heavens are secure--the whole thing explodes in my face

Chorus


13.Mama

Mama
Please be good, please be good to me
Mama
Please be good, please be good to me
Mama
Hovering over me at night
Mama
Comfort me, make me feel all right

I walk alone and see what boys should never
See in their lifetime
I live in the world of spirits
And i talk to the walls
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from

Mama
Come and take, come and take my hand
Mama
Try and see, try to understand
Mama
Looking through, looking through my eyes
Mama
Everywhere, always in disguise

I walk alone and see what boys should never
See in their lifetime
I live in the world of spirits
And i talk to the walls
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from

Mama
Please be good, please be good to me
Mama
Please be good, please be good to me

I walk alone and see what boys should never see
I hear what boys should never hear
In their lifetime

I live in the world of spirits
And i talk to the walls
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from

Mama
Please be good . . .


14.My Life

I would really like to know you better
But sometimes i'm afraid that it's not meant to be
I would like to believe in something higher
But i can't get a grip on all the little things

When the night comes i cannot sit still you see
And the years they have not been so kind to me
Got a gallery of figures standing all in a row
And every single figure has a soul of its own
But i never look back
Never look back
Don't turn your back on me

(chorus)
(hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again
Like so many threads
(hey yeah) my life has begun unfolding
In so many pieces
(hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again like
So many threads in the wind - drift away - drift away

There's a time and a place
For understanding
And a time when action speaks louder than words
And i don't seem to get no indications
And i don't know how to get through to you
And when time like the pyramids
Has worn away
All the mountains and the valleys
Of the words that we say

We have got to make sure that something remains
If we lose each other we've got no one to blame
So never look back
Never look back
Don't turn your back on me

(chorus)


15.No One Lives Forever

You worry too much / you make yourself sad
You can't change fate / but don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / it's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i don't want to die

I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me (i'm as)
Clever as can be, and i'm very quick, but don't forget
No one lives forever!!!

You think you got it rough / what about your darling doggy?
Ten short years / and he's getting old and groggy
I don't think it's very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend 'cause
No one lives forever!!!
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i
Don't want to die (but) . . .

No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there's no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one . . . . . . . (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (hey!)


16.No Spill Blood

(what is the law?)
(what is the law?)

Animals came from miles around
So tired of walking so close toe the ground
They needed a chance, that's what they said
Life is better walking on two legs
But they were in for a big surprise
'cause they didn't know the law!

Chorus
(what is the law)
No spill blood
What is the law
(no spill blood)

(who makes the rules)
Someone else
Who makes the rules
(someone else)

The rules are written in the stone
Break the rules and you get no bones
All you get is ridicule, laughter
And a trip to the house of pain!

Chorus (in reverse order)

We walk on two legs not on four
To walk on four legs breaks the law
What happens when we break the law?
What happens when the rules aren't fair?
We all know here we go from there
To the house of pain!
To the house of pain!

(what is the law)
What is the law

(who makes the rules)
Who makes the rules

We walk on two legs not on four
To the house of pain
To the house of pain
To the house of pain
To the house of pain
To the house of pain
(no spill blood)


17.Not My Slave

With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghost that we left behind.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper 'i love you.'
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgement day

You're missing the whole point-- you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place

You're mine now but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave

With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head
I thought about us both and the lives we led.
The pages on a book and pictures on a screen
We shape ourselves like clay from someone else's dream.
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But i am not a king please don't worship me.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper 'i love you.'

You're missing the whole point-- you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place

You're mine now but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave


18.Nothing To Fear(But Fear Itself)

Hey neighbor let me give you some advice
The russians are about to pulverize us
In our sleep tonight
That is if the crazy arabs
Or the riots don't get us first
And the fire will rain down from the sky
The fire will rain down from the sky
People will die--people will die
People will die--people will die
But go ahead sleep tight in your beds
Remember what the wise man said

Chorus
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
And the temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now . . .

Hey little girl won't you come this way
Won't you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake
Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss
Or perhaps a ride in my big car
Perhaps a ride in my big car
Won't you make an old man happy
Won't you make an old man happy
Won't you let me show you paradise
(don't ask your mother for advice)

Chorus

If they don't turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street
If they don't turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning jesus freak
If they don't take away your brains or turn your body inside out
If they don't take away your passion with a color tv set
They'll take away your heart and soul
They'll take away your heart and soul
They'll take away your heart and soul
Don't let them take away your heart and soul
But remember what the wise man said

Chorus


19.On The Outside

They laugh at me aloud
They say i'm just a clown
That i ain't got no pride
I'm on the outside
The girls look really cute
They really make it work
They think i'm just a jerk
I'm on the outside
I never could sit still
I never was too hip
I never caught the ride
I'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, i'm on the outside now
This is where it all begins right here
On the outside lookin' in, i'm on the outside

I never was a punk
I never shot junk
I never even tried counter
Culture passed me right by
(i'm on the outside)

Don't talk to debutantes
Don't eat in restaurants
The patrons sit and stare
The waiters make wise cracks behind my back
(i'm on the outside)

Teachers there in school
They flunked me by the rule
They say i had no motivation, brains or dedication
I guess the imbeciles were right i'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, i'm on the outside now
This is where it all begins on the outside looking in
Looking in
At you
I'm just an alien through and through
Tryin' to make believe i'm you
Tryin' to fit
Just a stranger on the outside looking in

The disco makes me sick i
Wear the wrong clothes
I say the wrong things
You know i can't dance
My feet are much too wide (i'm on the outside)

You think you set the trends
You wear your hair just right
Your clothes are out-a-sight
Your house is modern really kitch
You get so macho when you're with your bitch
(i'm on the outside)

I see them go to work
I see them go to sleep
I see them on t.v.
I see them laugh and cry
I'm on the outside. i'm on the outside. i'm on the outside

(repeat chorus)

I'm on the outside. i'm on the outside now
I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside now


20.Only A Lad

Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said if you don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell

But johnny didn't care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was
Ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster

His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age
Just because he didn't want to learn things
(had other interests)
He liked to burn things

The lady down the block
She had a radio that johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
Then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the care
Nobody dreamed that he would
Try to take it so far
He didn't mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

It's not his fault that he can't believe
It's not his fault that he can't behave
Society made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away
He'll go away

(repeat chorus)

Hey there johnny you really don't fool me
You get away with murder
And you think it's funny
You don't give a damn if we live or if we die
Hey there johnny boy
I hope you fry!


21.Only Makes Me Laugh


22.Private Life

This is my private life
I have no friends to fear
I've got no problems no cross to bear
If you can find me
Come and get me out of here

Chorus
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life . . .

These are my private things
There they are against the wall
The dirty pictures, religious objects
These are my private things
Come and get them out of here

This is my private bed
This is where i lie at night
Staring at a light bulb hanging on the ceiling
Waiting for a dream to
Come and get me out of here

Bridge
Here in my humble room at night
I often wonder what goes on out there
What makes them runs o scared
I often stare at the people passing by
But they can't see me thru my window shades
Just like i'm not even there

Chorus
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
There's something dangerous i like

This is my private life
I know my problems aren't your fault
What i really want to know
Has it always been this way

This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here


23.Return Of The Dead Man


24.Return Of The Dead Man 2


25.Stay

This is not the first time--you tried to get away
This is not a party--where people know your name
This is not a classroom--with teacher at the board
This is not a catshow--with prizes at the door

Chorus
Go--don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night

This is not a horse race--where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral--with mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom--where everything's alright
This is not a prison--with terror through the night.

Chorus


26.Sweat

Sweat!
Sweat!
Sweat!
Born for trouble, poised for action
Ready to spring at a moment's notice
Nerves like a trigger, waiting to be pulled
Covered with sweat, it ain't nice

Sweat!
Help me please i'm burning up
I got this fire in my heart
Won't let me sleep, can't concentrate
Even when it's cold i'm dripping sweat
It ain't nice

Sweat!
Rivers running down my back
Makes me slippery, like a fish
If i don't stop, i might drown
Falling down, down, down, down, not dead yet
Covered with
Sweat

Chorus
The cool boys bit the dust
They couldn't take the pressure
The cool girls got knocked up
They only wanted to have fun
(where did they go?)
They fell in low and suffered
(where did they go?)
They picked up guns and hammers
(where did they go?)
Without friction there's no heat
Without heat there's no fire
Without fire there's no desire
You're making me hot, hot, hot, hot!

Sweat! sweat!
Take my baby, saturday night
It's hundred and ten, it's alright
Close the door to my little room
Starting to sweat, fun starts soon

Sweat!
Principal caught me after school
Gave me hell, called me a fool
Pointed his finger, at my face
Started to sweat all over the place
Flowed like rivers, onto the floor
I can take it, give me some more

Sweat!
War breaks out throughout the land
Dodging bullets in the sand
Enemy's getting much to close
Sun beats down on the back of my neck
Fingers twitchin', covered with sweat
Covered with sweat

Chorus

Sweat!


27.Violent Love

Baby, you look so good,
I knew you would.
Please, don't go away
Darling, say it's okay...

I wanna make violent love
To you by the moon above
I wanna make violent love to you

I wanna kiss every night
To squeeze and hold you tight
I wanna make violent love to you

I don't want seem frantic
I don't want to cramp your style
You're driving me into a panic
You just wanna drive me, drive me,
Drive me, drive me wild


28.We Close Our Eyes

We close our eyes
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around
again

When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time
Who am i to cast a shadow
Who am i?
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time

Chorus:
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ...

And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am i?
And if you think i'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we don't try to hard
We might start falling in love

(chorus)

We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes

(chorus)

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again


29.Who Do You Want To Be?

Chorus
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on t.v.?

Oh boredom is so terrible, it's like a dread disease
Nothing could be worse
Than when there's nothing on t.v.
I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls
I've been reborn so many times
I can't remember them all
(and i say)

Chorus

Just like someone on t.v.!

I think i'll be a teddy boy, i think i'll be a hunk
I think i'll be a tough guy and i think i'll be a punk
I might just be a fashion star
All dressed in frilly rags
Or perhaps i'll cross the other side
And walk around in
Drag!

Chorus

Just like somebody on t.v.!

Do you like to be just like a rock
In the middle of the sea
Do you want to suffer by yourself
In a pool of blissful misery
Do you want to feel like a saint in artists' clothes
With a rosary in your hand
Do you wanna be crazy like van gogh like a
Stranger in a
Strange, strange land

Would you rather push the buttons
And be feared by all humanity
Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum
Do you wanna be stupid, just like me

Chorus

Just like somebody on t.v.!
Who do you want to be . . . . . . .


30.Wild Sex(In The Working Class)

I work so hard trying to make a few buck
I pass the hours in a dream
The sweat keeps rolling off the tip of my nose
There's only one thing keeps me on my feet

Bridge
I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory
I may be hunched over metal machines
Watching the gears as they move
Just reminds me
Of bodies in motion
The sweat and the sound

Chorus
Wild sex in the working class
After five it's a gas
Wild sex in the working class
Counting minutes gonna get home fast

Thinking of your warm skin
While i touch cold steel
The days go by to the pounding beat
My back is aching so bad
But i'm grinning inside
Thinking of you keeps me on my feet

Bridge

Chorus
I work so hard i'm thinking of you
I work so hard but i'm thinking of you
I work so hard

Chorus
