Inside — Oingo Boingo | Boi-Ngo Unreleased 1987

Reuploaded with improved sound. Still the same source as previously so still a bit rough/flat sounding, but now slightly better mastered.

Inside – Another essential unreleased song recorded for Boi-Ngo that sadly went unreleased. Like most the cut songs from Boi-Ngo, it's a little more introspective. The running order on the source tape (not bootlegged by me) suggests Inside was originally intended to end the album.

LYRICS:—
When you feel like you are fading
Like a ghost out in the sun
When your mind needs some persuading
When the world seems like it's dead
When your eyes feel like they turned around inside your head

When you fear no one around you
When you cry and nobody comes
When you say 'this is my treasure'
When you say 'this is my life'
When you fly down and spread your arms into the sky

Inside, something is empty
Inside, won't somebody care
You're nailed to the cross
It's the whole world's loss and nobody's sad

Inside, something is missing
Inside, something is bad
Built yourself a wall
Oh and it surely will fall when nobody's there

When you scream and no one will listen
When you find your friends are gone
Will you hide in resolution
Will your pride cover your eyes
Will you laugh as the whole parade passes you by?

Inside, something is empty
Inside, won't somebody care
You're nailed to the cross
It's the whole world's loss and nobody's sad

Oh inside, yeah something is missing
Inside, something is bad
You built yourself a wall
Oh and it surely will fall when nobody's there

Inside, something is missing
Inside, something is missing

Love this song! Definitely would've preferred it over "We Close Our Eyes". Not to say that one is bad but it's definitely my least favorite song on the album.

Honestly I thought this was a good for your soul demo weirdly
