Water lyrics

Artist  : Oingo Boingo 
Song : Water



 Send "Water" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Now everybody tells me 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 did you give it away, what did the old man
say
And how many babies did you kick today
Now how many nights can the full moon shine
How many bottles of water can you turn to wine
When the blood has flowed against the tides of
time
And the water flows forever
Hey hey hey!
Now I’m gonna build a boat, I’m gonna make it
float
’cause I’m getting the chase for a faraway
place
Gonna set the sail, gonna catch some wind
And the big red sky’s gonna be my only friend
With a boat for two, just me and you
You can be my teacher, I can teach you too
Gonna try a few things that I’ve never done
Maybe talk to the fishies, maybe have some fun
Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars
While I dance a jig under the eyes of mars
When we get to an island where no one’s ever
been
We can get down and dirty in our animal skins
And I stand with my thing hanging out in the
wind
Where the water’s sweet like honey
Hey hey yeah hey hey yeah!
I’ve been feeling a chill, from the east wind
blue
It’s 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 squealed
Have you heard what they say, did you read the
news
Said the old man’s coming home a-singing the
blues
Gonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hide
Make your ears turn red, make you gonna cry
Now how many children gonna lose their minds
How many crying girls will be left behind
When the dead start walking and the full moon
shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon
shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon
shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon
shines
When the dead start walking... yeah
Now everybody sing to the heavens above
And everybody dance to the sounds of love
Won’t you clack your teeth, won’t you smack
your hands
Won’t you dig your little heads right out of
the sand
Won’t you jiggle your butt, won’t you wave
your arms
Won’t you look like you just came off of the
farm
Won’t you stop your fighting for a second or
two
Won’t you help your neighbors, won’t you do
the do
Won’t you taste the sugar, won’t you eat the
cake
Won’t you get your ugly mug right out of my
face
Won’t you tell your brothers and your sisters
tonight,
That you tasted the water and the water was
right
Won’t you taste the sugar, won’t you dance
the dance
Won’t you wake up please, come on out of your
trance
Everybody make believe that you disappear
For a second or two, gonna feel so queer
And you left behind all your rage and fear
And it made you feel like water
