Where Do All My Friends Go? - Oingo Boingo

When lightning strikes and we are sleeping 
When everyone around is dreaming 
When children aren't children no more 
When parents aren't behind the door 
When football's over and the beer's gone 
When T.V. set no longer turns on 
(Tell me where my friends go) 

If I could float and drift forever 
I'd join the shattered dreams together 
I'd spy upon the disbelievers 
And scatter them into the seasons 
When winter comes I'd keep on moving 
To fill the cup of understanding 
I'd fly...to hidden places in the sky 
(Tell me where my friends go) 

(Chorus) 
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 
With outstretched arms into the sky 
when all is aid and come undone 
The words will come, the words will come 
We'll chase the ghosts into the shadows 
The spectres watch through every window 
We'll run like dogs and jump the fences 
And howl at men behind their faces 
We'll bark at night and wake the neighbors 
And tell the world of our adventures 
(Tell me where my friends go) 

(Chorus) 

My revelations - have lost control 
My better judgement - has gone away 
Our evolution is full of holes 
Has something gone astray 
(Tell me where our friends go)
