Burn Me Up Lyrics - Singles - Oingo Boingo

[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.
