Oingo Boingo - Witch's Egg Lyrics






When I turned 12 papa said
Little woman better get yourself a wife
Cuz you're too mean for a man so clean up your life
And if she's the devil you know she'll be your friend.

When I turned 13 I spat in my papa's eye
Took off to find my man cuz I couldn't find a wife
And I spread evil in a lot of towns
I couldn't find a man to lay me down
They were so busy , I don't know what they were doin'
But they still couldn't pin me down

So I grew up lonesome knowing there'd be no man
A woman to get me going through this life
Cuz I was hatched out of the witch's egg and

Doomed to fly high
Like a crane with no brains
I lay down with the devil and his side kick mankind
But something called lovin' left me hungry inside
So I went to the lord and asked him for more
Than what this world could offer
I lay down with him and I had to grin
Cuz he was shyer than thouer

Now thanks to the lord I've been set free
My lover is the trade winds that take me out to sea
My life is like nobody else's there's only one of me
Cuz I was hatched out of a witch's egg
Doomed to fly high
Like a crane with no brains.

    you: "...and Villechaize being the only actor paid for the film."
    in the wiki: "Villechaize kicked his cheque back into the production and even painted sets on weekends."
    I love this song ♥

  10. N.... C....

    I know Danny Elfman plays the devil and made the soundtrack for this movie but I'm wondering if Oingo Boingo played on the Forbidden Zone Soundtrack

    N.... C....

    Oingo Boingo is credited as performing on the all the soundtrack music with the exception of the vintage recordings the film uses (Some of These Days, Pico and Sepulvada, etc)

  11. j.... l....

    I feel like I caught this on TV when I was around 3 or maybe it was a nightmare

  12. t.... ....

    Somebody slap the jew responsible for this.

  13. k.... ....

    The music is freaking insane

  14. H.... ....

    This is where Ursala came from

    J.... J....

    No. Divine inspired Ursula.

  20. A.... S....

    where can I find the whole movie

  21. L.... ....

    The Rocky Horror Show is a pretentious version of this.

    L.... ....

    LadyLydarth Rocky Horror was released 5 years prior to this film.

    L.... ....

    Rocky Horror started as a play in 1973 in London, Forbidden Zone was released 1980, I don't think so lol

    L.... ....

    Latte Cat RHPS the film was released in 1975.

    L.... ....

    I know. Before it was a film it was a play, I'm saying it goes back even further to 1973.

  22. A.... ....

    makes me think of the Nightman

    A.... ....

    the one defeated by the dayman?

  23. G.... M....

    I wrote the music to 'witches egg' --susu wrote the words-- she was the greatest!!! We also wrote a song for 'I never promised you a rose garden'--when she was 'my gal', we wrote over 20 songs---her lyrics are genius, as was she---one of a kind,, a true, soulful arteeeeest!!! I miss you , susu---love, george michalski

    G.... M....

    George Michalski She was a good friend, I miss her. I loved her writing! Wish she did an album. The catch my soul song she sang is fabulous too.

    G.... M....

    G.... M....

    Who was the duo? The Kipper Kids, right?

    G.... M....

    @Esteban Rincon Yeah. One of them just died a couple months ago.

    G.... M....

    It must've been amazing to work on a surreal project like this.

  24. S.... ....

    Dem boobies.

  25. s.... ....

    That's Susan Tyrrell. From John Huston's Fat City. Amazing.

  26. K.... ....

    K.... ....

    You should watch the whole movie, it gets much weirder than this

    K.... ....

    Krowsnest wow i just found this randomly too, it was obviously meant to be as the bits I've watched so far are right up my street, why have i never heard of this.

  27. C.... ....

    what is this?

    C.... ....

    It's in the original post at top

  28. M.... ....

    And here we can see Glenn Danzig's mom singing while his dad sits and smokes... which explains a lot about Glenn's singing, lyrics, and well height x'D

    Sharing Lyrics to any lady who would like to sign it...

    When I turned 12 papa said
    Little woman better get yourself a wife
    'Cause you’re too mean for a man to clean up your life
    And if she’s the devil, you know she’ll be your friend.
     
    When I turned 13 I spat in my papa’s eye
    Took off to find my man 'cause I couldn’t find a wife
    And I spread-eagled in a lot of towns
    I couldn’t find no man to lay me down
    They were so busy a-cock-a-doodle-doo-in’
    But they still couldn’t nail me down

    So I grew up lonesome knowing there’d be no man
    Or woman to get me going through this life
    'Cause I was hatched out of a witch’s egg
    Been doomed to fly high
    Like a crane with no legs

    I laid down with the devil and his side-kick mankind
    But something called lovin’ made me hungry inside
    So I went to the lord and I asked him for more
    Than what this world could offer
    I laid down with him and I had to grin

    'Cause he was shyer than a flower
    Now thanks to the lord I’ve been set free
    My lover is the trade winds that take me out to sea
    My life is like nobody else’s

    There’s only one of me
    'Cause I was hatched out of a witch’s egg
    Been doomed to fly high
    Like a crane with no legs.

  31. E.... S....

    goddamn. goddamnit, woman.

  32. M.... L....

    I love this and since there isn't a love button I must comment. Love.

  33. j.... g....

    I want this to play at my funeral. :)

  34. n.... ....

    FAREWELL, SUSAN!!! a hero of mine

  35. T.... M....

    Though her passing brings sadness to all those who loved her, she left us such treasures to remember her by. What a woman!

  36. S.... ....

    :( Sad she's gone.

    She wrote this weirdo song for herself...
    She also dated Fausto -- Hervé Villechaize -- while they were filming.

    What a life.

    S.... ....

    Scix Jeeze, her boobies alone were bigger than Herve'. What a woman!

    S.... ....

    She was an amazing woman!
