Water Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Now, everybody tells 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 fishes, 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, yeah, hey, now 

I've been feeling a chill, from the East wind blue 

Is it 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 and make you gonna cry 

Now, well, 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 and 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
