Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party Lyrics






I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

I was struck by lightning
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door...

Don't run away; it's only me (only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man (dead man)
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Walkin' with a dead man...Dead man...

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffer comin' to my door
Says there's room for maybe just one more...

I was struck by lightning
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door...

Don't run away; it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away; it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

I was struck by lightning
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door...

Don't run away; it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away; it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

it's only me
it's only me
it's only me
it's only me

  61. T.... R....

    Thorton Melon brought me here!

  62. G.... E....

    The music video is really shit. The lyrics imply that they are in a funeral and that they should party over the dead. Not out getting wasted in an actual party.

  63. g.... ....

    A limo driver driving through Salem Mass turned me to this song. He was driving a busy road a few weeks ago just blasting this song and I was like "what the hell?" and he just dancing and moving like crazy while slowly driving. And I was like "I want whatever drugs hes on and I want that song!"

  64. G.... W....

    Happy Halloween 10/31/19
    👻👻🎃🎃👻👻🎃🎃

  65. R.... M....

    Today is that ladies and gentlemen

  66. J.... H....

    ok, I usually hate it when people overanalyze a song, or much of anything, but I do have a question, just for fun
    "leave your body and soul at the door"
    ok, "leave your body" OR "leave your soul", but if you "leave your body AND soul at the door", what the hell is coming in to the party ? your clothes and shoes ? leaving your naked body and soul hanging out in the cold ? LOL :D

  67. m.... s....

    I asked my girlfriend why there were so many Jojo fans in the comments (she's a Jojo fan) I've seen the first season and half of season 2, so I know a lot of characters are named after classic rock and pop musicians, so I asked, "Is there a character named Oingo Boingo?" and her face lit up and she informed me there are TWO characters and she loves them, lol

    p.... ....
