Helpless Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

Countless long nights while I stare at the wall
I ask myself over again
How did I end up in this little hell?
How did it ever begin?

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Helpless
Helpless to turn back the clock that ticks on
With its cruel shiny face
It laughs while it watches my ugly disgrace

I was born a sap
All the nurses laughed when they saw me the first time
They giggled and said
"This poor little monster, he′d better off dead"

Oh, oh, oh


Helpless
Helplessly trapped in a body
I'm sure should have never been mine
I′ll bet that my real one is doing just fine
And I don't belong here
I don't belong here

I should be quite rich with a big shiny car
A house with twelve rooms
I deserve to go far

Oh, oh, oh

Helpless
Helplessly falling in love that is love and lust to the night
To love and to honor, to kick and to bite
And I don′t belong here
I don′t belong here

It's all a mistake
I was destined for greatness
A leader, a prophet
They′re just too blind to notice
How did this whole silly story begin?
It seems that my mind has gone blank
It seems that I messed up a chapter or two
Perhaps it is best if I'm frank

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh


Helpless
Helplessly lost like that poor chap who came
For an innocent dance
He left with his brains smeared all over his pants
′Cause he didn't belong here
He didn′t belong here

He never should have left that one cage in the zoo
His face was so ugly
What else could I do?
Can you really blame me?
I had to smash it
He left me no choice
He was just like the others
So I just had to kill him
Like my poor dear old mother

Oh, oh, oh

Helpless
Helplessly fucked in the ass by a legion of forty ex-cons
That's what it feels like when you walk all over me
Don't belong here
I don′t belong here

Your eyes burn right through me
They fill me with fear
I could have been home watching football
Or drinking beer
I said

Oh, oh, oh

Helpless
So helpless
