Radio Paradise (mobile)

When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldn't talk; never had nothin' to say
But now I'm grown; nothing much seems to have changed
I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is this a fairytale; are you the Seven Dwarves?
Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war?
They were the only friends I ever trusted
Now they're scattered and livin' in the city
Unlisted numbers, huh
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do
Stuck in a payphone, but the operator won't let me through
I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
I think I'm going insane
I heard a rumor: They said it's gone nuclear
I stockpile cigarettes and double-bolt the door
A sanctuary for all my friends
We'll stay in bed until the world ends
So please don't wake me; I gotta get some sleep
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
I think I'm going insane
Is this a fairytale? This can't be real
There's fighting all around
They're shooting in the fields
They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes
Survival is essential at any cost or any price
The cartoon animals on Old McDonald's farm
Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
The Seven Dwarves
Well, there's only four alive today
Cinderella's working for the CIA
Cinderella, the fairytale's over
You should know; you got the scars to prove it
And your skin isn't as soft as it used to
But I don't care; come on, you said it, baby
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than—
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead

Lonestar Dec 20, 2006 - 11:16	As campy as Scoobie Doo. [ Reply ]
suddenchad Nov 06, 2006 - 17:07	Admire Elfman's film work, never "got" the band and hated that 80s New Wave "robot" style singing voice so many bands of that era employed. [ Reply ]

rococodeco Aug 25, 2006 - 12:05	this reminds me of the Rocky Horror Picture show, the creepy picture below is not helping. [ Reply ]

Agreed, and, thankfully, it wasn't the one of the other songs we've already heard too much of..... One thing I always thought was sad is that Danny Elfman stated at the end of the band's era (90's) that he HATED Oingo Boingo. I thought that was mean, considering how much $$ they made him!

GWillacker Jan 17, 2006 - 21:06	OK, anybody else remember seeing "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo" on The Gong Show? Way back God knows when. [ Reply ]
Carly Dec 19, 2005 - 21:04	This song doesn't affect me emotionally at all. It only irritates...makes the forehead scrinch-up. Voice is a little reminiscent of Elvis Costello. [ Reply ]
trekhead Dec 05, 2005 - 07:06	Whenever I hear this, it reminds me of ROCKY HORROR... Even sounds like Tim Curry at times... 7. [ Reply ]
