The Winning Side

Oingo Boingo


It's the winning side 
And everybody's cheering for the winning side 
And the children leave their homes to join the winning side 
And when Jesus comes He'll march on with the winning side 
And we've got all the right answers on the winning side 

And the guiding light 
Whether wrong or right 
And we have no fear 
No we have no fear 
Waiting for the sign 
We will give our lives 
We will give our lives 

And I feel so isolated 
It's so lonely here at night 
I could almost feel you near me 
I imagine that you're with me 

On the winning side 
We don't ask too many questions on the winning side 
And I've got this strange sensation on the winning side 
I don't recognize the faces of the winning side 
And we all live here in cages . . . 

Someone cried last night 
And it made a sound 
With my eyes closed tight 
I hear everything 
I can hear your voice 
When I kiss the ground 
When I kiss the ground 

And I'd like to know you better 
And I'd like to know your name 
I could really show you something 
If you give me half a chance 
'Cuz I'm on the winning side 

(Winning side) 

In the sleepless night 
When the blindness comes 
Washing over me 
Like a giant wave 
On a sandless beach 
Washing over me 
I am proud to be . . . 

And I'd like to take you somewhere 
That you've never been before 
And I feel so isolated 
And I feel so all alone 
Here on the winning side 
(And I feel so all alone)
