Lyrics for singles by Missing Persons
Windows
It Ain't None of Your Business
Destination Unknown
Walking in L.A.
Words
No Way Out
Mental Hopscotch
Something feels so strange tonight
it's not wrong but it's just not right
some hidden complications, fill me with hesiatation
and it gets so dark in here
I can't see through doubts and fears
walled in by expectation, I need a deviation
change in perspective, alternateive view
to help me see clearly, observe something new
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
outside the world's so dangerous
It's hard to find someone to trust
fills me with reservation deives me into hibernation
I watch whats going on
but I don't want to belong
leave me in my introspection
safely behind protection
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
looking through windows at the world
looking through windows at the world
safe behind windows from the world
safe behind windows from the world
watching my window world go by
just watching my window world go by
without my window who am I
without my window who am I
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want
All I want is a window to look through
All I want
All I need is a window to look through
All I need
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
Don't tell me what to do, and don't you ask me where I'm going to
I have to do what's right for me
Why is it so hard for you to see
Tryin' to get along with you is not an easy thing to do
Your suspicious nature drives me mad
You're wrecking everything that we had
It ain't none of your business where I'm goin
It ain't none of your business who I'm seein
It ain't none of your business
So stop fooling around with my life
you can't possibly know what it's like to be be inside of me
I'm on my own why can't you just leave me alone
I have always trusted you
If I can do it you can too
What I do is my concern, now you're just gonna have to learn
It ain't none of your business where I'm goin
It ain't none of your business who I'm seein
It ain't none of your business what I'm doin
It ain't none of your business
It ain't
You've got to take me serious
You're makin' me delerious
I feel like someone who's in jail now let go of my shirt tail
This kind of relationship is on the rocks
I can't take it anymore
You're driving me right out of the door
It ain't none of your business where I'm goin
It ain't none of your business who I'm seein
It ain't none of your business what I'm doin
It ain't none of your business
It ain't
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't, it ain't none of your business
Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to
you can't be sure of any situation
something could change and then you won't know
Ask youself
where do we go from here
it seems so all to near
just as far beyond as I can see
I still don't know what this all means to me
Tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don't know what to do
And I don't even know the time of day
I guess it doesn't matter any way
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
You ask yourself
When will my time come
Has it all been said and done
I know I'll leave when it's my time to go
Till then I'll carry on with what I know
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
and something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Life is so strange
Look ahead as we pass, try and focus on it
I won't be fooled by a cheap cinematic trick
It must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
Top-forty cast off from a record stand
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Nobody walks in L.A.
I don't know could've been a lame jogger maybe
Or someone just about to do the freeway strangler baby
Shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovy
One thing's for sure, he isn't starring in the movies
'Cause he's walkin' in L.A.
[chorus]
Walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat (Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin')
You only see 'em drivin' cars out on the street (Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin')
You won't see a kid walkin' home from school (Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin')
Their mothers pick 'em up in a car pool (Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin')
[chorus]
Could it be that the smog's playing tricks on my eyes
or is it a rollerskater in some kind of headphone disguise
Maybe somebody who just ran out of gas
Making his way back to the pumps the best way he can
Nobody walks in L.A.
Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
when you realize you don't know what you just read
What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all
I might as well go up and talk to a wall
'cause all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing am I all alone
Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression
It's a sorry state I say to myself
What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all
Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
Let me get by
Over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will I know
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less than nowhere now
less than nowhere now
less than nowhere now
now
ow ow ow
Pursue it further and another thing you'll find
Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind and no one notices
I think I'll dye my hair blue
Media overload bombarding you with action
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
Someone answer me before I pull out the plug
What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all
What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all
Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
tell me what are words for
Do you care
tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
so tell me what are words for
Do you care
so tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
tell me what are words for
so tell me what are words for
Do you care
so tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
tell me what are words for
so tell me what are words for
Do you care
so tell me what are words for
No way
No way out
No wat
No way out
I'm watching all my friends
Searchin' so desperately
They don't know but they really don't see
They can't find peace of mind
They're wasting all their time
Lookin' for something
That they'll never find
I face the music n' dance
Be what I have to be
There's no escapin' from it now for me
Who cares what it all means
'cause there can be no doubts
You won't find me searchin'
For an easy way out
Every one's so afraid
In this atomic age
Can't seem to handle livin'
Day to day
Becomin' so confused
They don't know what's in view
They seek escape in everything
They do
I've had my fill of kicks
I'm tired of drugs and sex
And I don't worry 'bout what's
happenin' next
I'm not searchin' for a way out
I'm not searchin' for a way out
You won't find me searchin' for an easy way
All you wanna do is seek escape escape escape
I know there's no way out for me
I know just what I have to be
Days go by it's getting late
Don't you know you're tempting fate
Sometimes you say you will sometimes you say you won't
you always keep me waiting waiting hesitating hey yeah
At times I think you do at times I think you don't
my mind is rollerskating, skipping, jumping rope, and fading
Mental Hopscotch
why must you treat me this way
Mental Hopscotch
ready or not I'm going away
Why can't you be like this why can't you be like that
I don't know where I am, or where or where I'm at
So now you got me up and now you got me down
You won't be walking you'll be talking
watch me now it's crazy
Mental Hopscotch
why must you treat me this way
Mental Hopscotch
ready or not I'm going away
Mental Hopscotch
cover your eyes and count to 10
Mental Hopscotch
don't do a ...... till I say when
So now you get me up and now you get me down
You won't be walking you'll be doin what you love baby
You don't think twice about what I might say
I follow you around and play an play an play an play
Mental Hopscotch
why must you treat me this way
Mental Hopscotch
ready or not I'm going away
Mental Hopscotch
cover your eyes and count to 10
Mental Hopscotch
don't do em up till I say when
Mental Hopsctch
Do me dump me rill me rock me
Mental Hopscotch
rollarskating skipping fading
Mental Hopscotch
Mental Hopscotch
Mental Hopscotch
