Oingo Boingo - Just Another Day lyrics

rate me

(there's life underground)

I feel it all around / I feel it in my bones

My life is on the line / when I'm away from home

When I step out the door / the jungle is alive

I do not trust my ears / I don't believe my eyes

I will not fall in love / I cannot risk the bet

Cause hearts are fragile toys / so easy to forget

It's just another day / there's murder in the air

It drags me when I walk / I smell it everywhere

It's just another day / where people cling to light

To drive away the fear / that comes with every night

Chorus

It's just another . . . . . . . it's just another day

It's just another . . . . . . . it's just another day . . .

It's just another day--when people wake from dreams

With voices in their ears--that will not go away

I had a dream last night / the world was set on fire

And everywhere I ran / there wasn't any water

The temperature increased / the sky was crimson red

The clouds turned into smoke / and everyone was dead

(but) there's a smile on my face . . . for everyone

There's a golden coin . . . that reflects the sun

There's a lonely place . . . that's always cold

There's a place in the stars . . . for when you get old

There's razors in my bed / that come out late at night

They always disappear / before the morning light

I'm dreaming again / of life underground

It doesn't ever move / it doesn't make a sound

And just when I think--that things are in their place

The heavens are secure--the whole thing explodes in my face

Chorus
