Burn Me Up

Oingo Boingo

6

[verse 1]

I would like to be a martyr

over time it's getting harder

who do I have to go and kill

to get my face on a dollar bill.

[chorus 1]

Every single time I look

someone else has beat me to it

some poor bastard bites the dust

I really don't know who to trust.

But there's one thing I can't deny

I'd rather it was me they fried

have a drink from an empty cup

light a match and burn me up.

[verse 2]

I'm exhausted, I'm committed,

i'm outsmarted, i'm out witted.

my head's filled with dynamite

it's coming out of my ears at night.

[chorus 2]

I think I am being watched

Electric eyes that never turn off.

Radar beams insinuating

evil thoughts while i'm masturbating.

And even my old trinitron,

it's comin through when nothing's on.

Have a drink from an empty cup,

light a match and burn me up.
