Oingo Boingo Helpless Lyrics

Helpless Lyrics

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 f**ked in the as* 
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.
