We Close Our Eyes

(from "Dead Bands Party: A Tribute to Oingo Boingo")

[Originally by Oingo Boingo]

This one a tribute
Jump and shout
Jump with joy

We close our eyes
(C'mon baby)
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again
Oh

When everybody is runnin' in the big race
And having a good time
Who am I to cast a shadow
Who am I?
I looked Death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time

[Chorus:]
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream

And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am I?
And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we don't try to hard
We might start falling in love

[Chorus]

We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes

[Chorus]

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
