Lyrics Flesh 'N Blood - Oingo Boingo

Flesh 'N Blood

Over time
I’ve come to feel
That everything must come apart, it seems
From the little child
To the man of power
From the beggar to the angel of my dreams
From the thinnest thread
We are sewn together
From the finest string, we dangle over time
From the highest wire
Do we walk through fire
Should our balance ever falter, should our steps be unaligned
Such a big storm, yeah such a strong wind blowing
Such a loud voice calling for me to cross the line
But I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give up the ghost
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
'Cause I haven’t the strength
To hold out too long
If we both hold on together
We can make each other strong
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh
Drop the mask
Take away the house
And forget about the income and the car
We’re all the same
Underneath our shell
We’ve all been to hell, and we know what it’s like
And we’ve shared each other’s sins
We all know what it’s like
To give up the fight
We’ve all been ashamed at one time or another
We all have dreams
And nightmares, too
When it all comes down, we’ll look out for each other
(No one else will)
But when I hear the call
When I feel the thirst
When the catcher comes to take my soul
He’s gonna have to fight me first
'Cause I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give up the ghost
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
'Cause I haven’t the strength
To hold out too long
If we both hold on together
We can make each other strong
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
(After all) we’re flesh
Every cloud
Has a silver lining
And every soul is tender to the touch
We are made of stone
We are made of steel
And we’re all the same when we return to dust
But when I hear the call
Yeah, when I feel the thirst
When the catcher comes to take my soul
He’s gonna have to fight me first
'Cause I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give up the ghost
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
'Cause I haven’t the strength
To hold out too long
If we both hold on together
We can make each other strong
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give it up
