Concrete Blonde - Fried Lyrics

ever since I was a little kid I wondered
why people did the things they did
I wondered why people said the things they said
I used to lie awake at night in bed

& nobody seemed to be what they seemed
& they taught me to stop believing in dreams &
told me to work & be pretty & breed
but I think & I feel & I need to know why

I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH
YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE.

philosophy, science, mathematics
quantum physics...semantics
I don't wanna buy thing they're selling
meanwhile, all our brains are swelling

visitors from outer space &
new millennium racists
oh yes,
history is paling
& my surge protection failed, & so

I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH
YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE.

love is power, love is pure,
love is the only thing I'm sure of
love is e lec tri ci ty
felicity, it is life, you see
it is the one thing beyond all control.
The multi-dimensional-unmeasurable soul
Try to contain it. Try to maintain it.
no one can explain it

I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE
OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS
OPEN WIDE.
