Well I was walking through the green, green grass just minding my own affairs
When I came across a bright green ever hungry polar bear
He took me by my empty hand and took me with his stare
And then we started dancing in the howling midnight air
WE KEEP ON PUSHING WE KEEP ON RUSHING OOOH
OUT OF THE DARKNESS OUT OF THE MADNESS OOOH
He drove me to a city bright with shiny city lights
And I was blinded by the gleam and all them promised heights
Each window danced before me like sweet girls in underwear
There was nothing I could do, I'd walked into his lair
He pointed out some shiny boots he knew would fit me fine
And I could barely keep myself from screaming how sublime
High heeled, black, up to my knees just how I like em yeah
He knew just what'd fit me, he knew just what I'd wear
WE KEEP ON PUSHING WE KEEP ON RUSHING OOOH
OUT OF THE DARKNESS OUT OF THE MADNESS OOOH
WHOOPS SHINY LADY
And sure enough they fit me fine just like he said they would
And I felt like that queen divine just like I knew I would
But the price I paid was all I had and all I ever was
I lost myself amidst the greed filled howling midnight fog
So next time you meet a bright green ever hungry polar bear
Don't dance with him, don't shake his hand, don't meet his hungry stare
He'll only lead you way astray and far from who you are
So don't get fooled by shiny boots or get in strange bear's cars
He bit me hard, he bit me deep, he bit me to the bone
Was like I blinked and then somehow I lost my way back home
I've paid my price I've paid my dues and now I stand here telling you
Don't dance with bright green polar bears they only lead to deep despair
WE KEEP ON PUSHING WE KEEP ON RUSHING OOOH
OUT OF THE DARKNESS OUT OF THE MADNESS OOOH
WHOOPS SHINY LADY
