Oingo Boingo

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 cat show?with prizes at the door

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 horserace?where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral?with mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom?where everything's all right
This is not a prison?with terror through the night

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

Don't you ever wonder why
Nothing ever seems to change?
If it does it for the worst,
Seems it's just a modern curse.
Sometimes, when I take a peek
Outside of my little cage,
Everyone looks so asleep...
Will they die before they wake?

And, hey... Don't you know? We're just products of our time and...
Hey... what do you say? Show me yours; I'll show you mine...

Better dumb and happy than
Smart and without any friends!
Better cute and better loud;
Better join up with the crowd...
Keep up or be left behind;
There's a dust storm in my mind...
Seems I can't see straight these days:
Doesn't matter, anyway.

And, hey... Don't you know? We're just products of our time and...
Hey... what do you say? Show me yours; I'll show you mine...

Hey... what do you say? Hey... what do you say? Please, don't ever...

Oh, God, here's that question now! The one that makes me go insane!
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never, never, never, never change...

Do you want to change?

Do you want to change right now?

Do you want to change?

I like my stupid life just the way it is,
And I wouldn't even change for a thousand flying pigs!
And I like you... just the way you are.

And I like your face just the way it is,
And I wouldn't even trade for a herd of screaming kids
And I like you... just the way you are.

I like you, though you may not like me back;
I would dazzle you with brilliance, if I only had the knack -
'Cause I like you... just the way you are.

I like this life just the way it is,
And the castles all around me have been melting now for years
And it kills my brain to think of all the time I wasted here:
All the efforts, sweat and broken hearts, the screaming and the tears.

And I'm dreaming again...

Floating in a pool of mud,
Try to get back where I was and I...
Don't really care...

Got a little talking to
By the mirror in my room and I...
Don't really care...

Whispering voices from the dead
Come from underneath my bed and I...
Don't really care...

I like my stupid life just the way it is,
And the chaos that surrounds me like a flock of screaming pigs.
And it hurts my brain to think of all the stupid things I've said...
And if I could change the future I would change the past instead.

And I'm dreaming again... and I'm dreaming again...

Baby... sometimes I worry about you...
Sometimes you're so far away: tell me what to do!
I say, baby... sometimes I worry about you...
Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do...
I say, baby... sometimes I worry about you...
Everyday I feel the same; don't you feel it too?
I say, baby... sometimes I worry about me...
Seems I'm falling down a lot, in-between the scenes...
I say, baby... sometimes I worry about me...
Getting harder all the time, harder now to see...
I say, baby... sometimes I worry about me...
Light another cigarette, have another dream.

It's the same thing every day, nothing ever seems to change and I...

Do you really want to? Really want to?

Hey... what do you say? Hey... what do you say? Please, don't ever...

Testaments and growing pains:
Tranquilizers for the soul.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained -
Evolution's cruelest joke.
Why is everyone upset?
I once knew, but I forget.
Something happened, something strange;
Something it appears has changed.

And, hey... Don't you know? We're just products of our time and...
Hey... what do you say? Show me yours; I'll show you mine...

Hey, what do you say? Hey, what do you say? Please, don't - please!

Oh, God, here's that question now! The one that makes me go insane!
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never change!
Never! Never! Never! Never!
Change...

Oh, listen, tender lumplings, let me take your little hands
I'll take you from this hellhole to the Promised Land
But don't blame me, oh, children, if those promises don't keep
'Cause promises, like lives, can be bought so very cheap

I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly
I'm crying...

Sitting on a corn flake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you been a naughty boy; you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo, goo g'joob

Mr. City, policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the egg man, they are the egg men
I am the walrus, goo, goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain
I am the egg man, they are the egg men
I am the walrus, goo, goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob

Expert text-pert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snide
I'm crying

Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing "Hare Krishna"
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the egg man, they are the egg men
I am the walrus, goo, goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob
Goo, goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob g'goo

Don't you know we got smart bombs?
It's a good thing that our bombs are clever
Don't ya know that the smart bombs are so clever?
They only kill bad people now

Don't you know, though our kids are dumb,
We got smart bombs? What a joyous thing, now
Here we go, so let's drink a toast
To those clever bombs and the men who built them

There they go now; there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly with their heads in the clouds

Don't you know that this better than
Any video, friend? It's an action movie
Here we go, watch the bad guys get their butts kicked
Really makes me feel good

Here we go, watching CNN
The adrenaline rushes through my veins
Don't you know it's a feel-good show; electronic bliss
It's a video, a video....

There they go now; there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
With their bright flags waving in the wind
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly with their heads in the clouds

Aren't you glad we got smart bombs?
It's a good thing our bombs are clever
It's shame that our kids are dumb
But our bombs are smart, what a lucky thing now
Don't ya know it's a feel-good show and it's suitable
For the whole darn family
Come on out; everybody, shout
Give a big salute to our ingenuity

Don't you know this better than any video, friend
It's an action movie....
Here we go, watch the bad guys get their butts kicked
Really makes me feel good
Don't you know it's Nintendo
Really gets the blood flowing through my veins now
Don't you know it's a feel-good show; electronic bliss
It's a video, a video....

There they go now; there go all my friends
There they go now, marching off to war again
With their bright flags waving in the wind
There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly with their heads in the clouds
See them smile now, marching on in light....

Spider crawling, on the wall
I see him and he, sees it all...
And he sees it all

I fell down in that lazy place,
Where the English language can't - penetrate and I
Saw your mouth moving - just forget it and lie here with me
Maybe we should just, climb under the sheets
Where the words they don't get in the way

We were wondering, if you recall
Is this the end of it - end of everything
We were wondering, wonder

Spider crawling - in my left ear
Has a message I - want you to hear
Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for
Do you miss me, miss me at all?

Spider tells me, saw you yesterday
With somebody new - what can I say?
What can I...

Spider crawling, I crawl with him -
We go everywhere, we see everything
We are falling, we are falling, falling to nowhere
Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for
Do you miss me, miss me at all?
Spider crawling, spider crawling, spider crawling...

I'm standing all alone out in the pouring rain
And though it really isn't like me to complain
I think I'm getting used to it

I feel happy, and I also feel bad
I've never been here, but somehow I think I have
But I'm getting used to it

I've never been lost like this
I've never been lost like this
But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else
Nobody to tell us what to do all by ourselves

Don't know how I got here
And I don't know why I stay
The poets all around are laughing in their graves
Must be something I said

This place is not like anything I've seen before
The spirits move around; the houses have no doors
But I'm getting used to it

I've never been lost like this
I've never been lost like this
But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else
Nobody to tell us what to do all by ourselves

Isn't this a fine hello?
I wish I hadn't seen you go
It's always been a bitter pill
The broken mirror's broken still
The letters never made the post
A thousand more I never wrote
And here, on the dark, unfriendly streets
I find the comfort that I seek
And I'm happy, and I've been happy...

I've never been lost like this
I've never been lost like this
But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else
Nobody to tell us what to do all by ourselves....

Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest
I was left to fend for myself
I was left in a basket, just like baby Moses
To float down that muddy river
Protected by the stupid little fairies

I floated for nine days and nights
I floated for nine days and nights
Till I came to the city
Bright lights and all the fine ladies
Come on out, all you bright, fine ladies

I like you just like you are, and I love you kind of
Just like you are, and I love you
Like a sticky piece of cotton candy
In this bright red cotton candy, candy world

I'm so excited about the prospects
Of meeting with a
Stranger in an alley
I'm so excited

I hope they're rough, I hope their skin is
Tough like Spanish leather
Can't wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mine
I can't wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mine

Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest
Raised by suburban lions out in the jungle
We really like to run in packs?and I like that
When we hunt, we all function with one mind
Our collective predications are as sharp as the
Razor in my pocket, and as dull as the ice
Melting slowly in my glass

My only love is the love of oblivion in a dark room
With a couple of pedestrian wolves
So artfully backlit by a solitary candle
I take my pleasure in soft, red clouds of desire
So funky in this unwashed bed for one
With the soft, red dreams of oblivion

I'm so excited about the prospects
Of meeting with a
Stranger in an alley
I'm so excited

I'm so excited, 'cause soon I'll hit the streets
I am the crown prince of pavement
I'm so excited
Under the sheltering skin
Stretched out so pale and thin
There is an ocean of bright red liquid love
And that, my friend, is my favorite color

Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest
And I take my pleasure on a soft, red cloud
And I take my pleasure in the monkey's bed
And the wolves still howl and the light still glowing red
And I take my pleasure in a blue, steel game
And I take my pleasure through the monkey's eye
And the wolves all howl while the world around me dies

I'm so excited about the prospects
Of meeting with a stranger
In an alley
I'm so excited

I hope they're rough
I hope their skin is tough
Like Spanish leather

Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest
I was left to fend for myself
I was left in a basket?just like baby Moses
To float down that muddy river
Protected by all those stupid little fairies

I floated for nine days and nights
Till I came to the city
Bright lights and all the fine ladies
Come on out, all you bright, fine ladies

I like you just like you are, and I love you kind of
Just like you are in this bright cotton candy, candy world
Raised by pedestrian wolves....

We were both cast forth from the same pale hand
And we both moved freely in the shadowlands
And we both were sculpted by the same cold wind
And we both had armor that was made of tin
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And I tried to speak, but it was useless
And I felt so bad and I didn't know why
And it didn't get better as time went by
I was there for you, but you turned away
And I tried to find you, but you turned away
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And I tried to speak, but was useless
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And you're so close, but I can't see you
And you're right there, but I can't see you
And I feel so dumb and I didn't know what to do
You were right there but I can't see you
And I realize that it's useless
And I want to fight, but it's useless
And I know you're there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And I tried to say it, but my tongue got tied
And I tried to say it, but I was numb inside
And I can't see you anymore
And my peace of mind has gone through the door
And I realize that it's useless
And I thought I was right, but it was useless
And I know you're there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And I can't see now in front of my nose
And I know you're there, and I know you're close
And you're fading away - now you disappear
And I try to focus, but I can't see clear
And I don't know why I feel this way
And I can't control myself anyway
And I don't know why I feel this way
And I can't control myself anyway
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I can't see... now in front of my face.

Oh, Mary was unhappy with the life that she led
She was a simple girl without much to say
So, one day, she upped and left her dreary home
And she left all her friends to wander all alone
And at first, she was afraid?she was so far away
From her home?but slowly, she got to like it anyway
Oh, Mary, won't please come....

Well, in time, she found that
Mountain that she had been taught
Her whole life that she must avoid
And though at first, it hurt and no one could comfort her
She finally came to appreciate it
And she liked it, she liked it?oh, wasn't she surprised
And though still alone, she grew so much inside
Oh, Mary, won't you please come....

And after a time, she became so sublime
She could look in people's eyes and read their minds
Though her hands would sometimes bleed, and occasionally
She would long for her past and the memories they bring
She decided to return to her old hometown
And her heart was burning with all the things she found
Oh, Mary, won't you please come....

So, Mary came back, and at first,
No one recognized her face
And all her friends were a little bit afraid
When they heard what she had to say,
They all slowly backed away
And her family took her aside and put their arms around her
They said, "Mary, won't you please come back to us now
"There is still time to repent for all your sins."
And Mary started to cry when she realized
That she'd never come home again in her life
Oh, Mary, won't you please come...
Mary, won't you please come home....

Hey, I've got a commentary without much to say
You know those damn kids drive me crazy every day
But all I've ever think is something to complain....
And all I wish that they would all just go away
'Cause all I really want is to be just like them
Just wanna be just like them...
Just wanna be just like them...
Just wanna be just like them

Hey, I've got a commentary without much to say
If you forgive me, I'll be getting on my way
And I forgot the whole damn point of this whole song
And I'm complaining now, complaining for so long...
For so long...
For so long

I really want all those things that I can't have
All I really want to is to have you so bad

Hey, those stupid kids have really gotten out of hand
And now I think it's time we all take up a stand
And then together, we can raise our voices high...
Our voices high...
Our voices high

Hey, though at this moment, I can't think of what we'd say
I guess we really want to be just like them...
Just want to be just like them...
Just want to be just like them...
Just want to be just like them

Hey, I've thought a thousand times about this day
I've been expecting it in each and every way
The possibilities preoccupy my mind
And I'm so fortunate to be so very kind...
So very kind...
So very kind

What I really want is all those things that I can't have
What I really want is to have you so bad

What I really want is all those things that I can't have
What I really want is to have you so bad
I'm so jealous, I can barely see straight from my head
And it burns on the inside till I wish I was dead

Please, Mama, don't be angry with me
Please, Papa, don't be angry with me

And I'm so sick and tired of all those stupid things you say
And this fucking monkey sitting on my back won't go away!
And I'm still standing here with my dick in my hand
Waiting for an invitation to the Promised Land!

Please, Mother,
Don't be angry with me
Please, Father,
Don't be angry with me

Hey, I've got a commentary without much to say
And all those damn kids drive me crazy every day
But all I ever think is something to complain...
To complain...
To complain

Hey, I really wish that they would all just go away
'Cause all I really want is to be just like them...
Just wanna be just like them....

And I'm so sick and tired of all those stupid things you say
And this fucking monkey sitting on my back won't go away!
And I'm still standing here with my dick in my hand
Waiting for an invitation to the Promised Land!

Please, Mother,
Don't be angry with me.

I'm so sorry; please, forgive me
Who do I pray to straighten out this problem?
Straighten out this problem; straighten out my mind
Straighten out this crooked tongue....
My mind has wandered from the straight and narrow
My mind has wandered from the flock, you see
My mind has wandered; the man just said so
My mind has wandered; I heard it on TV
And the flock has wandered away from me

All around the world, now
Like a big, bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
TV sets and telephones
Here it comes, just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, say hello....
Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello, insanity

I am the virus; are you the cure?
I am morally? I'm morally impure
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of God's well-oiled machine
Christian nation, assimilate me
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the street
Into the abyss and to the sewer, don't you see?
The man just told me, he told me on TV

Do you think you're better than me?
Do you want to kill me or befriend me?

And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evangelical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex and the wages of sin
While he mentally fondles his next of kin
My mind has wandered from the flock, you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me!

Let's imitate reality?insanity
Let's strive for mediocrity?insanity
Let's make believe we're all the same?now, that's the thing
Let's sanitize our little brains?insanity

I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight; I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep

Christian sons, Christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection; perfection is my goal

Do you think you're better than me?
Do you want to kill me or befriend me?

Christian nation, make us all right
Put us through the filter, and make us pure and white
My mind has wandered from the flock, you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're at the top; ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle

All around the world, now
Like a big, bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
TV sets and telephones
Here it comes, just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, say hello...
Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello, insanity

Let's imitate reality?insanity
Let's strive for mediocrity?insanity
Let's make believe we're all the same?now, that's the thing
Let's sanitize our little brains?insanity

I'd love to take you home with me; I'd love to tuck you in
I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
I'd love to hear you scream tonight; I'd love to hear you cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky

Let's imitate reality?insanity
Let's strive for mediocrity?insanity
Let's make believe we're all the same?now, that's the thing
Let's sanitize our little brains?insanity

I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
On Sundays, I would pray for you so it would never stop
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight; I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take you hand in mine
I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take you satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
I'd love to mess your pretty hair; I'd love to see you dead!

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 her?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

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

Where're we going, where're we going, home again
We're home again, we're home

Well, ain't that something?guess I lost my head
Must've took a wrong turn?when I got outta 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

Where're we going, where're we going, home again
We're home again, we're home

Reptiles and samurai
Inhabit my head
Invading my dreams
Sleeping in my bed
They battle but they never die
They hear what i hear
Watching thru my eyes
They don't like what they see
Reptiles and samurai
Are under my skin
They hide in my mind
They speak with my tongue
They run amuck in my terrain
They are not friends
But they are forced reluctantly
To share my brain
1st bridge
Reptiles have silly grins
Dark eyes--shiny teeth--some have fins
Samurai they smile never
Serious--pretty swords--very cleverSometimes i watch you from this place way in the sky
Your face is young and shiny transformed right before my eyes
Without warning, without reason
To samurai and lizards
Reptiles and samurai
Samurai and lizards
Reptiles and samurai
Reptiles and samurai
Inhabit my head
Invading my dreams
Sleeping in my bed
They battle but they never die
2nd bridge
Reptiles have pretty scales
They run real fast--they like to bite--some have tails
Samurai like their water hot--very brave
They eat raw fish--they fight alot

Island in the sea
Are so much like me
They don't ever change--no emotion, no emotion

Islands on the land
Dry like desert sand
Island in the city
All alone it's such a pity

It's just a masquerade
Just painted laces
When will it change
Never

Islands in the seas
What's come over me
We are both surrounded by the water--empty water
Give me mystery--and the fear it brings
Anything at all to break up the monotony

Islands in the sea
Forever . . . forever

INTRO
Everyone says we've come such a long, long way
We're civilized, isn't that nice?
We've gotten so smart
We know how to blow the whole world apart
But when it comes to the simple things
(Like living together) . . . HA!
VERSE
Why'd we have to come all this way
Is anything any easier to understand
Why'd we have to come all this way
Are we any smarter than primitive men
We still fall in love though we know better
Anything at all just to stay together
Stop wasting all my time
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
VERSE
Why'd we have to come all this way
We could have quit while we were way ahead
Why'd we have to come all this way
We could have just stayed home instead
The road was long and the journey was hard
We never even dreamed that we'd come so far
BRIDGE
It didn't have to end up like this
It didn't have to end up like this
It didn't have to end up like this
It didn't have to end up like this

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
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)
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

Have you seen my girlfriend
She lives in a pig pen
Have you seen my girlfriend
I can't seem to find her
Perhaps she is hiding
Underneath a blade of grass
Let's take the whole day off
Let's take the whole day off
Let's take the whole day off . . .
Have you seen my new house
Looks just like a dog house
Have you seen my new house
Someone saw it walking
Straight into the ocean
He thought it was an ivory boat
Bridge
Maybe--it's just a bad dream and i'll wake up soon
But i don't think i'll be so lucky
Maybe--it's just one of those strange days when nothing seems right
No nothing seems right at all
Went up to a pay phone on a bathroom wall
But i can't remember who i want to call
Operator can you help me
Have you seen my garden
It is most peculiar
Have you seen my garden
Nothing there that grows
Looks anything at all like plants
I hear their voices . . .
Let's take the whole day off . . .
Have you seen my girlfriend
Have you seen my girlfriend . . .

You've got me so I'm running round and round in circles.
You've got me so I can't see my own face.
You've got me so I feel like I've been like this forever.
You've got me so I'm crazy with disgrace.

I know what's on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I know what's on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I'm running on a treadmill after you
I'm running on a treadmill now.
I'm running on a treadmill after you
I'm running on a treadmill now.
You've got me so I'm running round and round in circles.
You've got me so I can't see my own face.
You've got me so I feel like I've been like this forever.
You've got me so I'm crazy with disgrace.

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
