Pictures Of You Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Pictures of you, it's just pictures of you, through the bedroom door 

With that sly little grin, says you want it some more 

But there's people around and they don't look so nice 

Tell me why don't they move, this has happened before 

This has happened before 

It's just pictures of you in darkness 

Pictures of you, I'd been sleeping for hours when you came to my house 

You'd been lost in a crowd, said you had to get out 

You were covered with tears and you said you were sad 

So you wanted to play, yes, you wanted to play 

Well you touched me and smiled as you let yourself go 

Oh, but something was wrong 'cause your touch was so cold 

Like you'd been in the ground and you asked if you could stay 

And I said, "No" 

It's just pictures of you in darkness 

Pictures of you in that lovely white dress, your skin was so white 

With the moon in your eyes on that cold winter night 

When your lips were so soft that I though they would melt 

And the sound of your breath and the way that you felt 

And I said yes, and I said yes 

It's just pictures of you with a knife in your hand 

With a rose in your teeth lying nude in the sand 

It's just pictures of you standing high on a cliff 

With the wind in your hair and a smile on your lips 

And your eyes were so wild when you started to laugh 

Blending in with the wind, sounded just like a scream 

Why do pictures of you come to me when I dream in darkness? 

Pictures of you 

Pictures of you 

Pictures of you 

Pictures of you 

Pictures of you
