Oingo Boingo - Flesh 'n' Blood Lyrics
Over time Ive come to feelThat everything must come apart it seemsFrom the little child to the man of powerFrom the beggar to the angel of my dreamsFrom the thinnest thread we are sewn togetherFrom the finest string we dangle over timeFrom the highest wire do we walk through fireShould our balance ever falterShould our steps be unalignedSuch a big storm yeah such a strong wind blowingSuch a loud voice calling for me to cross the lineChorusBut Im not gonna give up the ghostNo, not gonna give up the ghostIm not gonna give up the ghost, no not gonna give it upcause I havent the strength to hold out too longIf we both hold on together we can make each other strongAfter all were flesh n bloodAfter all were flesh n bloodAfter all were flesh n bloodAfter all were fleshAfter all were flesh n bloodAfter all were flesh n bloodAfter all were flesh n bloodAfter all were fleshDrop the mask take away the houseAnd forget about the income and the carWere all the same underneath our shellWeve all been to hell and we know what its likeAnd weve shared each others sinsWe all know what its like to give up the fightWeve all been ashamed at one time or anotherWe all have dreams and nightmares tooWhen it all comes down well look out for each other(no one else will)But when I hear the call when I feel the thirstWhen the catcher comes to take my soulHes gonna have to fight me firstChorusEvery cloud has a silver liningAnd every soul is tender to the touchWe are made of stone, we are made of steelAnd were all the same when we return to dustBut when I hear the call when I feel the thirstWhen the catcher comes to take my soulHes gonna have to fight me first . . .Chorus out
