Tough as nails


Mr. Macho loves his women with such dedication
Second only to his car that drives as fast as light
On a highway bad jet fighters come from all directions
Shooting verbal missiles, find their target right on sight, right on sight

In the office things get rough as action is diminished
Staring at a paper he is lost inside his head
Dreaming of a battlefield with guns and ammunition
All around, the bodies of the wounded and the dead, and the dead

(Chorus)
'Cause he's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails

He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire

Now it's time for football and a bout with heavy drinking
Holding so much liquor makes him feel like a man
As he drifts out on the sea on a ship that's slowly sinking
Quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had, he once had

(Repeat Chorus)

Walking round and round in circles
Waking up in a cold sweat
Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done yet
Smash a window, crash a car
And buy a pair of leather shoes
Take a sweetheart to a movie
Cash a check and pay some dues

He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire

(Repeat Chorus)

Walking round and round in circles...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo were formed as a musical theatre group in 1972 by Richard Elfman and would eventually become the influential new-wave/art punk band known simply as Oingo Boingo. They were best known commercially for their hit song "Weird Science" from the film of the same name and also on their fourth album Dead Man's Party. Their primary songwriter and frontman Danny Elfman would go on to become a well respected and famous film-score composer and work closely with Tim Burton on films such as Beetlejuice (1988) Batman (1989) Edward Scissorhands (1990) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (for which he also sang for lead character Jack Skellington and two supporting roles Barrel and The Clown with the Tearaway Face). He has also scored extensively for iconic TV show The Simpsons.
