Burn Me Up lyrics

Song information

Artist: Oingo Boingo
Album: Farewell

Lyrics

[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

[Instrumental]
