Oingo Boingo - Dead Or Alive Lyrics






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 wrong that I don't understand
His eyes are open, but he doesn'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 'frigerator; that isn't nice
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

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!

Is it dead, is it
(Is it dead)
Is it dead
(Is it dead)
Is it dead or alive?
Is it dead
[Fade]

    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 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 frigerator, that isn't nice
    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
    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!
    Is it dead

    I'm starting to think Dead Or Alive is the one phrase on Earth that can't be copyrighted.
