Songtext Where do all my friends go Oingo Boingo

Where do all my friends go

When lightning strikes and we are sleeping

(Tell me where my friends go)

When everyone around is dreaming

(Tell me where my friends go)

When children aren't children no more

(Tell me where my friends go)

When parents aren't behind the door

(Tell me where my friends go)

When football's over and the beer's gone

(Tell me where my friends go)

When T.V. set no longer turns on

(Tell me where my friends go)

If I could float and drift forever

(Tell me where my friends go)

I'd join the shattered dreams together

(Tell me where my friends go)

I'd spy upon the disbelievers

(Tell me where my friends go)

And scatter them into the seasons

(Tell me where my friends go)

When winter comes I'd keep on moving

(Tell me where my friends go)

To fill the cup of understanding

(Tell me where my friends go)

I'd fly

(Tell me where my friends go)

To hidden places in the sky

(Tell me where my friends go)

My hesitation

Is strong today

The indications

All point away

To something better

For everyone

Has something gone astray

I'll follow you until I die

(Tell me where my dreams go)

With outstretched arms into the sky

(Tell me where my dreams go)

When all is said and come undone

(Tell me where my dreams go)

The words will come, the words will come

(Tell me where my dreams go)

We'll chase the ghosts into the shadows

(Tell me where my dreams go)

The specters watch through every window

(Tell me where my dreams go)

We'll run like dogs and jump the fences

(Tell me where my dreams go)

And howl at men behind their faces

(Tell me where my dreams go)

We'll bark at night and wake the neighbors

(Tell me where my dreams go)

And tell the world of our adventures

(Tell me where my dreams go)

My hesitation

Is strong today

The indications

All point away

To something better

For everyone

Has something gone astray

My revelations

Have lost control

My better judgement

Has gone away

Our evolution

Is full of holes

Has something gone astray
