Reptiles And Samurai

Oingo Boingo


Reptiles and Samurai 
Inhabit my head 
Invading my dreams 
Sleeping in my bed 
They battle but they never die 
They hear what I hear 
Watching thru my eyes 
They don't like what they see 

Reptiles and Samurai 
Are under my skin 
They hide in my mind 
They speak with my tongue 
They run amuck in my terrain 

They are not friends 
But they are forced reluctantly 
To share my brain 

1ST BRIDGE 
Reptiles have silly grins 
Dark eyes--shiny teeth--some have fins 
Samurai they smile never 
Serious--pretty swords--very clever 

CHORUS 
Sometimes I watch you from this place way in the sky 
Your face is young and shiny transformed right before my eyes 
Without warning, without reason 
To Samurai and lizards 
reptiles and Samurai 
Samurai and lizards 
Reptiles and Samurai 

Reptiles and Samurai 
Inhabit my head 
Invading my dreams 
Sleeping in my bed 
They battle but they never die 

2ND BRIDGE 
Reptiles have pretty scales 
They run real fast--they like to bite--some have tails 
Samurai like their water hot--very brave 
They eat raw fish--they fight alot 

CHORUS
