Whistling In The Dark Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

A woman came up to me and said, "I'd like to poison your mind 

With wrong ideas that appeal to you, though I am not unkind" 

She looked at me, I looked at something written across her scalp, 

And these are the words that it faintly said as I tried to call for help 

There's only one thing that I know how to do well 

And I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well 

And that's be you, be what you're like, be like yourself 

And so I'm having a wonderful time, but I'd rather be whistling in the dark 

Whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark 

Whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark 

There's only one thing that I like, and that is whistling in the dark 

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah 

A man came up to me and said, "I'd like to change your mind 

By hitting it with a rock," he said, "though I am not unkind" 

We laughed at his little joke, and then I happily walked away 

And hit my head on the wall of the jail where the two of us live today

Whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark 

Whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark 

There's only one thing that I like, and that is whistling in the dark 

There's only one thing that I know how to do well
