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 of 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 living 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 the pool full of strangers

Hey, 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-Idaho, I-I-Idaho
Woh ohh ohh
Woh ohh ohh, wohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh

Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own Private Idaho
Living in your own Private Idaho
