Walking down the sidewalk in a crowd that doesn't care
Bumping into shoulders every eye is on the street
There's a man with tattered clothes who's cursing at the air
Everyone is slowing down to catch a little peak
Song: Go Away
Album: So-Lo

Two heads
Are better than one
Two hearts
Bleed so much more

Every time I think I've got you figured out
When I think I've got you in a Chinese box
Every time I think I've got you naked on the cross again
You're still glowing now

Remember my name

Over time, I've come to feel
That everything must come apart, it seems
From the little child to the man of power
From the beggar to the angel of my dreams

But girls are afraid of my face
And I don't know why

What do they want from me?
What do they want from me?
What do they want from a poor boy who can't believe?
Can't believe
They want to fill the void
They want to fill the empty spaces
But I won't let them consume me
...

When you spend your whole life
Building stone castles
When the walls start to crumble
Exposed to the world

And the children leave their homes to join
The winning side
And when Jesus comes he'll march on with

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

Just once or twice is good for your soul
Praise God, brothers and sisters!
Accept Jesus in your heart and you will be saved!
You will receive everlasting life!

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, well
...
Song: Cinderella Undercover
Album: Boingo Alive
It's just pictures of you, through the bedroom door
With that sly little grin, says you wanted 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

My creation, is it real?
It's my creation I do not know
My creation, is it real?
Just flesh and blood
Just flesh and blood
Just flesh and blood

Young girl, so wild, she wears a ponytail
And she cooks inside with a passion she can't hide
And she's got that ju-ju in her eyes
Makes boys and old men come alive
And she knows the power that she possesses
When they start to melt under her caresses
...
Song: Everybody Needs
Album: So-Lo
The Clowns of Death are marching on their hideous parade
Their glaring eyes are filled with hate, but I am not afraid
Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn
With tattered wigs and toothy grins to amplify their scorn
Song: Clowns Of Death
Album: Farewell
Have you ever been in love
with someone you hardly knew
Whereas every time you closed your eyes,
you saw this person come alive
It kept you wide awake at night
You felt like you were burning up
In pain, you want to scream
...
Song: Good For Your Soul
Album: Good For Your Soul
I don't want to seem frantic, (Oh, oh)
I don't want to cramp your style, (Oh)
You're driving me into a panic
O-oh! You just wanna drive me, drive me,
drive me, drive me, drive me wild!
Song: Violent Love
Album: Oingo Boingo EP
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 love and suffered
(Where did they go?)
They picked up guns and hammers
(Where did they go?)
...

Got a little talking to
By the mirror in my room
And I, donβt really care

Don't believe what I can't see
Living in a world of fallen angels
Something's watching over me

Come to the rescue now
Come with a mission and come with a broken heart
Life is a dream somehow (life is a dream somehow)

Insects crawling all around
Insects squirming in the ground
Insects, gooey, squeaky, chewy
Should I eat them? No!
I'd rather stomp them, hurt them, stomp
Song: Insects
Album: Nothing To Fear
Walking round and round in circles (He's such a live wire)
Waking up in a cold sweat (He's such a live wire)
Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done yet (He's such a live wire)
Smash a window, crash a car (He's such a live wire)
...
Song: Tough As Nails
Album: So-Lo
The letters never made the post
A thousand more I never wrote
And here on dark, unfriendly streets
I find the comfort that I seek
And I'm happy anyway
Happy anyway

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
