Oingo Boingo - Water Lyrics
Now everybody tells me youre the dogs best friendIm the cats meow since I dont know whenIm an instigator from a dead mans townSo when did the whole world turn upside downWhen did you change your mind, when did you lose the juiceNow where did you get your attitudeWhen did you give it away, what did the old man sayAnd how many babies did you kick todayNow how many nights can the full moon shineHow many bottles of water can you turn to wineWhen the blood has flowed against the tides of timeAnd the water flows foreverHey hey hey!Now Im gonna build a boat, Im gonna make it floatcause Im getting the chase for a faraway placeGonna set the sail, gonna catch some windAnd the big red skys gonna be my only friendWith a boat for two, just me and youYou can be my teacher, I can teach you tooGonna try a few things that Ive never doneMaybe talk to the fishies, maybe have some funMaybe shake my pale fist at the angry starsWhile I dance a jig under the eyes of marsWhen we get to an island where no ones ever beenWe can get down and dirty in our animal skinsAnd I stand with my thing hanging out in the windWhere the waters sweet like honeyHey hey yeah hey hey yeah!Ive been feeling a chill, from the east wind blueIts been creeping up slow, have you felt it too?Have you noticed the look? have you felt the feel?Did it make you blush when the piggy squealedHave you heard what they say, did you read the newsSaid the old mans coming home a-singing the bluesGonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hideMake your ears turn red, make you gonna cryNow how many children gonna lose their mindsHow many crying girls will be left behindWhen the dead start walking and the full moon shinesWhen the dead start walking and the full moon shinesWhen the dead start walking and the full moon shinesWhen the dead start walking and the full moon shinesWhen the dead start walking... yeahNow everybody sing to the heavens aboveAnd everybody dance to the sounds of loveWont you clack your teeth, wont you smack your handsWont you dig your little heads right out of the sandWont you jiggle your butt, wont you wave your armsWont you look like you just came off of the farmWont you stop your fighting for a second or twoWont you help your neighbors, wont you do the doWont you taste the sugar, wont you eat the cakeWont you get your ugly mug right out of my faceWont you tell your brothers and your sisters tonight,That you tasted the water and the water was rightWont you taste the sugar, wont you dance the danceWont you wake up please, come on out of your tranceEverybody make believe that you disappearFor a second or two, gonna feel so queerAnd you left behind all your rage and fearAnd it made you feel like water
