Gratitude (Short) Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

Ooh!

Life′s been so good to me
Has it been good to you?
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be?
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me?
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be?


Now is that gratitude?
Ooh!
Now is that gratitude?
Now is that gratitude?
Or is it really love?
Some kind of reality
That fits just like a glove?
Now is that gratitude
For everything I've done?
Or is it something else
That′s got me on the run?

In the middle of a big tornado
On the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale
All the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbor
In a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator
In the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution
In the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table
In the stillness of disgrace!
Now is that gratitude? (Gratitude)
Now is that gratitude? (Gratitude)
Now is that gratitude? (Gratitude)
Now is that gratitude? (Gratitude)


Yes!
But when i think of you
And what you′ve done to me
You took away my hope
You took away my fantasy
I once had lots of pride
The world was in my hands
I lived way at the top
In castles made of sand

Ooh!
I dream of you sometimes
Ooh!
I dream of you sometimes

In
In the middle of a big tornado (In the middle of a big tornado)
On the tip of everyone′s tongue (Of everyone's tongue)
In the belly of a giant whale (Giant whale)
All the girls just wanna have fun (All the girls just wanna have fun)
In the look of a frightened neighbor (In the look of a frightened neighbor)
In a big warm bed at night (In a big warm bed at night)
In a broken elevator (In a broken elevator)
In the teeth of a dog that bites (In the teeth of a dog that bites)
In the middle of a revolution (In the middle of a revolution)
In the look of a child′s face (In the look of a child's face)
In the silence of the dinner table
In the stillness of disgrace!
Now is that gratitude?
Oh!
Now is that gratitude?
Now is that gratitude?
Oh!
Now is that gratitude?
Ooh!

Life′s been so good to me
Has it been good to you?
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be?
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me?
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be?

In the middle of a big tornado (In the middle of a big tornado)
On the tip of everyone's tongue (Of everyone′s tongue)
In the belly of a giant whale (Giant whale)
All the girls just wanna have fun (All the girls just wanna have fun)
In the look of a frightened neighbor (In the look of a frightened neighbor)
In a big warm bed at night (In a big warm bed at night)
In a broken elevator (In a broken elevator)
In the teeth of a dog that bites (In the teeth of a dog that bites)
In the middle of a revolution (In the middle of a revolution)
In the look of a child's face (In the look of a child's face)
In the silence of the dinner table
In the stillness of disgrace!

Ooh!
I dream of you sometimes
Ooh!
I dream of you sometimes
Ooh!
I dream of you sometimes

Now is that gratitude?
Ooh, oh!
Now is that gratitude?
Oh!
Now is that gratitude?
Ooh, oh!
Now is that gratitude?
Oh!
Now is that gratitude?
Ooh, oh!
Now is that gratitude?

Now is that gratitude?
Oh!
Now is that gratitude?
