Dead Or Alive-Oingo Boingo

There in the shadows looks like a hand Without its owner to give it a command It's got a purpose but I don't know what it is I'm in trouble There in the streets looks like a man But something wrong that I don't understand His eyes are open but he don't see a thing His skin is peeling off his bones are sticking out I'm getting scared Oh my god Is it dead Is it living Is it dead Is it dead or alive Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead or alive Hiding in the cupboards like little mice Hiding in the frigerator that isn't nice It's not an animal it don't have legs No one else can see it It moves so fast corner of my eye Look again it's gone it's hiding Won't somebody help me doesn't anybody care It waits so patiently for me to lose my guard I'm getting scared Is it dead is it Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead or alive Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead Is it dead is it I remember there was a time When dead and buried meant just that Underneath the cold dark ground Things stay put Oh them bones they make them bodies walk Them bones them bones If they could only talk Is it dead Fade
