Boingo Oingo - Gratitude Lyrics



Boingo Oingo - Gratitude Lyrics




Life's been so good to me

Has it been good to you

Has it been everything

That you expected it to be

Was it as good for you

As it was good for me

And was it everything

That it was all set up to be

(Now is that gratitude)


Now is that gratitude


Or is it really love

Some kind of reality

That fits just like a glove

Now is that gratitude

For everything I've done

Or is it something else

That's got me on the run


In the middle of a big tornado

On the tip of everyone's tongue

In the belly of a giant whale

All the girls just wanna have fun

In the look of a frightened neighbor

In a big warm bed at night

In a broken elevator

In the teeth of a dog that bites

In the middle of a revolution

In the look of a child's face

In the silence of the dinner table

In the stillness of disgrace


(I used to eat little girls I knew

for breakfast

I used to fly high up in the sky

I used to chew up rocks and

spit out gravel

I had a heart as cold as ice)


But when I think of you

And what you've done to me

You took away my hope

You took away my fantasy

I once had lots of pride

The world was in my hands

I lived way at the top

Of castles made of sand



Ooh . . .

I dream of you sometimes

Ooh . . .

I dream of you sometimes


In the middle of a big tornado . . .


Life's been so good to me .
