Flesh 'n' Blood Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Over time I've come to feel 

That everything must come apart it seems 

From the little child to the man of power 

From the beggar to the angel of my dreams 

From the thinnest thread we are sewn together 

From the finest string we dangle over time 

From the highest wire do we walk through fire 

Should our balance ever falter, should our steps be unaligned 

Such a big storm, yeah 

Such a strong wind blowing 

Such a loud voice calling 

For me to cross the line 

But I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give up the ghost 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

'Cause I haven't the strength to hold out too long 

If we both hold on together we can make each other strong 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all 

Drop the mask take away the house 

And forget about the income and the car 

We're all the same underneath our shell 

We've all been to hell and we know what it's like 

And we've shared each other's sins 

We all know what it's like to give up the fight 

We've all been ashamed at one time or another 

We all have dreams and nightmares too 

When it all comes down we'll look out for each other 

(No one else will) 

But when I hear the call, when I feel the thirst 

When the catcher comes to take my soul 

He's gonna have to fight me first 

'Cause I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give up the ghost 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

'Cause I haven't the strength to hold out too long 

If we both hold on together we can make each other strong 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all we're flesh 'n' blood 

After all 

Every cloud has a silver lining 

And every soul is tender to the touch 

We are made of stone, we are made of steel 

And we're all the same when we return to dust 

But when I hear the call, yeah, when I feel the thirst 

When the catcher comes to take my soul 

He's gonna have to fight me first 

'Cause I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give up the ghost 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

'Cause I haven't the strength to hold out too long 

If we both hold on together we can make each other strong 

Give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up 

I'm not gonna give up the ghost 

No, not gonna give it up
