Dead Or Alive Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

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's wrong that I don't understand 

His eyes are open but he don't see a thing 

His skin is peeling off, his bones are sticking out, I'm getting scared 

Oh, my god 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it living? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

Hiding in the cupboards like little mice 

Hiding in the refrigerator, that isn't nice 

Now it's not an animal, it don't have legs 

No one else can see it 

It moves so fast, corner of my eye 

Look again it's gone, it's hiding 

Won't somebody help me, doesn't anybody care? 

It waits so patiently for me to lose my guard, I'm getting scared 

Oh, my god 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it living? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead, is it? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead, is it? 

I remember there was a time 

When dead and buried meant just that 

Underneath the cold dark ground 

Things stay put 

Oh, them bones 

They make them bodies walk 

Them bones, them bones 

If they could only talk 

Oh, my god 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it living? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead, is it? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead, is it? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead, is it? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead or alive? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

(Is it dead?) 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead? 

Is it dead?
