Helpless - Oingo Boingo

Countless long nights

While I stare at the wall

I ask myself over again…

How did I end up

In this little hell?

How — did it ever begin?

Oh, oh, oh oh oh helpess

Helpless to turn back the clock

That ticks on

With its cruel shiny face

It laughs while it watches

My every disgrace — I was

Born a sap — all the

Nurses laughed when they

Saw me the first time

They giggled and they said

«This poor little monster’d be

Better off dead.»

Oh, oh, oh oh oh helpess

Helplessly trapped in a body

I’m sure —

Should have never been mine

I bet that my real one’s

Doing just fine — and I

Don’t belong here, I

Don’t belong here — I

Should be quite rich

With a big shiny car

A house with twelve rooms

I deserve to go far

Oh, oh, oh oh oh helpess

Helplessly falling in love

But does love

Really last through the night?

To love — To honor —

To kick and to bite!

and I

Don’t belong here, I

Don’t belong here

It’s all a mistake

I was destined for greatness

A leader, a prophet —

They’re just too blind to notice

Where did this whole silly story begin?

It seems that my mind has gone —

Blank

I think that I’ve messed up a chapter or two

Perhaps it is best if I’m frank!

Oh, oh, oh oh oh helpess —

Helplessly lost like that

Poor chap who came

For an innocent dance

He left with his brain smeared

All over his pants!

cause he

Didn’t belong here, he

Didn’t belong here

He never should’ve left

That warm cage in a zoo!

His face was so ugly

What else could I do?

Can you — really blame me, I

Had to smash it

He left me no choice

He was just like the others

I just had to kill him

With my poor, dear, old

Mother

Oh, oh, oh oh oh helpess

Helplessly fucked in the ass

By a legion of forty ex-cons

That’s what it feels like

When you walk all over me

Don’t belong here, I

Don’t belong here

Your eyes burn right through me

They fill me with fear

I could’ve been at home

Watching football, and drinking beer

Oh, oh, oh oh oh helpess, so Helpless
