The B-52's › Lyrics › Private Idaho

You're living in your own private Idaho
Living in your own private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato
Don't go on the patio
Beware of the pool
Blue bottomless pool
It leads you straight right through the gate
That opens on the pool

You're living in your own private Idaho
You're living in your own private Idaho

Keep off the path, beware the gate
Watch out for signs that say, "Hidden driveways"
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
Blind you to the awful surprise
That's waitin' for you at
The bottom of the bottomless blue, blue, blue pool

You're livin' in your own private Idaho, Idaho
You're out of control, the rivers that roll
You fell into the water and down to Idaho
Get out of that state
Get out of that state you're in
You better beware

You're living in your own private Idaho
You're living in your own private Idaho

Keep off the patio, keep off the path
The lawn may be green
But you better not be seen
Walkin' through the gate that leads you down
Down to a pool fraught with danger
Is a pool full of strangers

You're living in your own private Idaho
Where do I go from here to a better state than this
Well, don't be blind to the big surprise
Swimming round and round like the deadly hand
Of a radium clock
At the bottom of the pool

I-I-I-Idaho
I-I-I-Idaho

Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own private Idaho
Livin' in your own private, Idaho
