Same Man I Was Before Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

I′m (I'm) I′m not the same man I was before
But I've not changed my perception
I haven't lost my protection
I haven′t lost- haven′t lost- haven't lost-
What I have, lost intentions

Two by two coming through the door
(Singing like a bird)
Boys and girls, voices joined in song
(Voices in the air)
Fire crackers making so much noise
(Flying in the air)
They all start yelling at me--

Everything you do is wrong!
Oh, oh, oh, ooh


I′m (I'm) I′m not the same boy I was before
But I have not changed my desires
I've not extinguished the fires
I haven′t lost wide eyed wonder
I haven't lost- haven't lost- haven′t lost-
The stupid fear of thunder

Two by two walking hand in hand
(Walkin′ in the air)
The bones come marching from the promised land
(Comes from everywhere)
Their voices carry like the sound of glass
(Breaking on the ground)
It burns my ears when they sing--
Everything you do is wrong!

(Everything you do is wrong)

I'm (I′m)...
Not the same ghost I was before
But I still converse with the spirits
When people talk I don't hear it
I walk through doors when no one sees me
I disappear, I disappear, disappear
Whenever it may please me


Two by two walking hand in hand
(Walkin′ through the air)
The bones come marching from the promised land
(Comes from everywhere)
Their voices carry like the sound of glass
(Breaking on the ground)
It burns my ears when they sing--

Everything you do is wrong
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Everything--

(Everything you do is wrong)

Oooh,
Same man I was before
(Same illu--)

Ohh!
(Everything you do is wrong)

Same man I was before
(He's got the same illusion)

Y-eah!

(Everything you do is wrong)

I′m not the same man I was before!
(Same illu--)
I'm not the same man--!
(Everything you do is wrong)
I'm not the same man I was before
(He′s got the same illu--)
I′m not the same man I was before
(Everything you do is wrong)
Not the same man I was before
(Same illu-)
