    I'm standing all alone out in the pouring rain
    I better slow it down, I'm freezing in my veins
    But I'm getting used to it
    This place is not like anything I've seen before
    The buildings move around, the houses have no doors
    Strange that I should [end up here]
    Oh I don't believe in ghosts or apparitions
    Don't believe what I can't see
    Living in a world of fallen angels
    Something's watching over me
    I've never been lost like this
    I've never been lost like this
    But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else
    Nobody to tell us what to do
    All by ourselves
    I've never been lost like this
    But I guess I'm happy, anyway
    Don't know how I got here and I don't know why I stay
    The poets all around are laughing in their graves
    Must be something that I said
    They think they're clever just because they're dead
    Oh I don't believe in ghosts or apparitions
    Don't believe what I can't see
    Living in a world of fallen angels
    Something's watching over me
    I've never been lost like this
    I've never been lost like this
    But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else
    Nobody to tell us what to do
    All by ourselves
    I've never been lost like this
    But I guess I'm happy...

    the bad audio quality peaking whenever danny goes “OHHHHHHHHOHHHHAIII” is somehow really haunting and fits the nature of this song to me

    This is Oingo Boingo - this is purely their "sound" - it's got so many of the things you want in a song of theirs. Wonderful. This absolutely should have been on the album. Why haven't they released EXTENDED versions of CDs with bonus cuts. What a shame - it's not too late!

      Randy J Good For Your Soul really could have been a double album with how many brilliant songs were written for it, each different and all so distinctively Boingo!

      @@OingoBoingoTapes Good point, agreed. They should put out a double album NOW ;) Filled with rarities. But again - not sure why there weren't CD reissues with bonus cuts and demos. So many great 80s bands have done this.

      @@randyj420 Elfman once said in an interview about preparing for a live concert of his movie scores, that it was the first time he had really gone back and listened to his early movie scores (Peewee, etc). I think Elfman is a personality type that is always looking to the next project and doesn't really spend much looking back in the past. I read somewhere that when asked about releasing remastered recordings of Boingo, his response was that he felt they did a pretty good job originally. Jerry Seinfeld said that when people ask what his favorite joke is, he said he doesn't know how to answer that. He said it's like asking which breath is your favorite and the answer is 'your next breath.'

      Rubellan Remasters is reissuing remastered early Boingo albums and they have teased possible bonus tracks. I'll believe it when I see it, but I am hoping.

      This version is almost sinister, they keys and guitar make it so. Plus the echo on the vocals. I’ve yet to find something they have done that I dislike.
      Do you download and burn the songs? Because I’m drowning not having any of the hard to find, alternate tracks and demos in my clutches.

    This could've made for an excellent album closer. It's got a similar feeling to Islands, which should've been NTF's closer too, but that's besides the point.

      @@OingoBoingoTapes there are physical set lists from 1982 and 1983 (which also proved Islands and Treadmill were also played live along with an unknown song called "Monkey"). I’ve been trying to find/collect more photos of them and so far I found another 1981 one with NTF songs and Stand Defeated, the full NYE raincross/palace setlist, a 83/84 setlist with No One Lives Forever, and a 85 one with Same Man and Something Isn’t Right.

      I kind of think about it in terms of addiction or compulsion. 'But I'm getting used to it' 'Dont know how I got here don't know why I stay'. But it's Oingo Boingo so it could be about anything.
