Helpless Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Countless long nights while I stare at the wall 

I ask myself over again 

How did I end up in this little hell? 

How did it ever begin? 

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, helpless 

Helpless to turn back the clock 

That ticks on with its cruel shiny face 

It laughs while it watches 

My every disgrace 

I was born a sap all the nurses laughed 

When they saw me the first time 

They giggled and they said 

"This poor little monster'd be better off dead" 

Oh oh oh, helpless 

Helplessly trapped in a body 

I'm sure should have never been mine 

I bet that my real one is doing just fine 

And I don't belong here, I don't belong here 

I should be quite rich with a big shiny car 

A house with twelve rooms, I deserve to go far 

Oh oh oh, helpless 

Helplessly falling in love 

But does love really last through the night? 

To love and to honor, to kick and to bite! 

And I don't belong there, I don't belong here 

It's all a mistake I was destined for greatness 

A leader, a prophet, they're just too blind to notice 

Where did this whole silly story begin? 

It seems that my mind has gone blank 

It seems that I messed up a chapter or two 

Perhaps it is best if I'm frank! 

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh helpless 

Helplessly lost like that 

Poor chap who came for an innocent dance 

He left with his brain smeared all over his pants! 

'Cause he didn't belong here, he didn't belong here 

He never should've left that warm cage in the zoo 

His face was so ugly, what else could I do? 

Can you really blame me, I had to smash it 

He left me no choice, he was just like the others 

So I just had to kill him like my poor, dear, old mother 

Oh oh oh, helpless 

Helplessly fucked in the ass 

By a legion of forty ex-cons 

That's what it feels like 

When you walk all over me 

Don't belong here, I don't belong here 

Your eyes burn right through me they fill me with fear 

I could've been at home watching football, and drinking beer 

I say, oh oh oh, helpless, so helpless
