Livin’ way up now in a penthouse high
Our steaks are rare and our martini’s dry
Folks below they say it ain’t fair
Hell with them, I really don’t care
Joie de vivre, mon amie
Ain’t this the life

Having a party on a big jet plane

Shijiteruze
Shinjiteruyo
OINGO BOINGO BROTHERS!

Ore wa Oingo,henshin dekiru
Shinco,taiju,nioi mademo,omoi no mamasa.
Dare nimo barenai,satorarenai.
Sozo no kami. KHNUM!

It`s the last time, it`s the last chance
It`s a fond farewell to a golden age
And it`s hard to tell until it`s gone away
It`s a long goodbye to carefree life
It`s the last chance to get out of line
What`s going on here?

It`s the end of an era

Now Pluto girls are neat but you know they'll
eat you up alive
Although they're nice to know when it's a thousand below
it isn't easy to survive
And Neptune girls are great for dancing
with a dozen arms and legs
They really hold you tight and they can boogie all night
but it's so hard to kiss three heads

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

Don't you ever wonder why, nothing ever seems to change
If it does it's for the worse, 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 d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine

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

shooting through concrete, cool city
Mountains of glass reflect the sky
Everybody feels real good in cool city
Each day brings a new surprise
Johnny came two-thousand miles to the cool city
He came to see what makes things tick
He cut his hair and bought new clothes in the cool city
Finally found his life's ambition

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
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
Waiting for an invitation to arrive

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

Come to the rescue now
Come to the rescue and stay for a little while
Come to the burning house
All of the ladybug's children are screaming fire
Come to the rescue now

CHORUS
Tomorrow may change--tomorrow may change

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

On the quest for the holy Grail
Try and live on razor's edge
Find a mountain or cross a valley
Why bother? It's all for sale
True love was in her eyes
Burning truth was on her face
Even though it was late at night
Saw her once, there's no mistake

Every time I see you now,
It makes me feel so bad
Reminds me of the memories
I wish I never had

Standing in a crowded room
Too dark for me to see
Someone's pushing from behind

Ooohhhh...

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?

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

(I thought I heard somebody cry--
I though I heard somebody cry)
I went to see what I could find
Like flowers in the dead of night
Like shadows in the moonlight--
I though I heard somebody cry
A choir with a single voice--A picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts

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

Countless long nights
While I stare at the wall
I ask myself over again...

How did I end up
In this little hell?
How - did it ever begin?

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

I'm so sorry, please forgive me
Who do I pray to 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

Tiny insects in my hair
Tiny insects everywhere
Tiny insects in my pants
Watching insects make romance
Insects make me make me want to dance dance dance
They make want to dance . . .
Flying insects everywhere
Flying insects buzzing buzzing buzzing through the air

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

I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune Darkness can never last too long
Every time I think I'm falling
And there's nobody around to hold me up
And it seems like the world has come to an end
I look for miles but not a face is friendly
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire

(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

I love little girls they make me feel so good
I love little girls they make me feel so bad
When they're around they make me feel
Like I'm the only guy in town
I love little girls they make me feel so good

They don't care if I'm a one way mirror
They're not frightened by my cold exterior

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

Here's something to think about
Where would we be without nasty habits, nasty habits
Makes me want to scream and shout
Life would be so dull without nasty habits, nasty habits
All those naughty little things that we don't discuss publicly
Nasty habits, nasty habits
Tell me your secrets, tell me your name, tell me your secrets

People raise your voices, don't get caught in that mess
Like a fly in a spider's web, is it true more is less
Herded like a happy flock to the big T.V. slaughter
"Why don't you break that leash," said the heifer to the sheep

It's a new generation
It's a hallucination
It's a mystic vibration

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

(What is the law?)
(What is the law?)

Animals came from miles around
So tired of walking so close to the ground
They needed a change; that's what they said
Life is better walking on two legs
But they were in for a big surprise

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

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

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

My situation never changes - or very little
My little world -- my little world--is due for a shakeup
Or a shakedown would be acceptable
And I can't understand--can't understand
Why people think I'm so respectable

I believe, I believe, I believe
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous

Pictures of you
It's just pictures of you, through the bedroom door
With that sly little grin, says you want it some more
But there's people around, and they don't look so nice
Tell me why don't they move, this has happened before
This has happened before
It's just pictures of you
In darkness

This is my private life
I've got 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
This is my private place, Everything is neat and clean,
The skeletons are hidden in the closet,
This is my private place, come & get me out of here

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 through my eyes

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.

(Chorus)
I know what's on your mind
But its not what you think it is.

I'm (I'm) I'm not the same man I was before
But I've not changed my perception
I haven't lost my protection
I haven't lost- haven't lost- haven't lost-
What I have, lost intentions

Two by two coming through the door
(Singing like a bird)

This Is Someone Else's Story
Someone That I Never Knew
This Is Someone Else's Body
Am I Getting Through To You
If You Peel Away The Armor Is Something Underneath
If You Look Below For Hidden Treasure Underneath Another Layer
Are You Hiding Underneath The Skin
[AD]

Can't seem to find my way
Someone tell me what to say
Where am I going
Where did I come from
I don't know, I don't know

Almost got to paradise

Once in a lifetime something happens no one understands
Turns the whole world inside out, turns water into blazing sand
Who in the world who ever guess that something wasn't right
Who can explain when the sun comes up in the middle of a winter night

I'm burnin' up now baby
I'm burnin' up now baby, baby please

And I've always been a sucker for mystery

So I turn to the left and I turn to the right
But none of the answers are in sight
So I made a mistake maybe once or twice
And I can't even get to paradise
And a priest came up to me and touched my face
He said terrible things happen round this place

(Three, four!)

Oh, baby, you look so good.
Honey, I knew you would.
Please, don't go away.
(Uh-uh-uh) Darling, say it's OK.

I want to make violent love,

Don't you know we got smart bombs
It's a good thing that our bombs are clever
Don't you 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

Now, everybody tells you're the dog's best friend
I'm the cat's meow since I don't know when
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
So when did the whole world turn upside down?

When did you change your mind?
When did you lose the juice?
Now, where did you get your attitude?

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

(Weird science)
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces and
Magic from the hand
We're makin'

(Weird science)
Things I've never seen before

When the lights go out
Everybody has fun
When the lights go out
Everybody runs to a safe place
When the lights go out
Everybody's afraid
When the lights go out
Everybody starts to pray

When lightning strikes and we are sleeping
When everyone around is dreaming
When children aren't children no more
When parents aren't behind the door
When football's over and the beer's gone
When T.V. set no longer turns on
(Tell me where my friends go)

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

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

CHORUS

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!
