How Bizarre
OMC · Other Songs - OMC
Brother Pele's in the back
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruising down the freeway
In the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red blue lights
Flash us from behind
Loud voice, booming
" please step out onto the line"
Pele breathes words of comfort
Zina just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
Is that a Chevy 69?
How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre
Destination unknown
As we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster
Reveals a smile from the pack
Elephants and acrobats,
Lions snakes monkey
Pele speaks righteous
Sister Zina says funky
How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around(everytime i look around)
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
Ringmaster steps up
Says the elephants left town
People jump and jive 'round
The clowns that struck around
T.V. news and cameras
There's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters
Ask the where, for and why
Pele yells "we're outta here"
Zina says "right on"
Make your moves and starting grooves
Before they knew we're gone
Jump into the Chevy
Headed for big lights,
Want to know the rest
Hey, buy the rights,
How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around(everytime i look around)
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around(everytime i look around)
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruising down the freeway
In the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red blue lights
Flash us from behind
Loud voice, booming
" please step out onto the line"
Pele breathes words of comfort
