Ondine
You won
All she left behind was an unloaded gun
And my face
Is blushing
For all the things she's done
You couldn't miss that girl
'Cause here she comes
Ondine
Back up
Run over my body with your pickup truck
And finish
What you started
Because I'm done
I searched the whole room over
To find these words
She said
I had the strangest dream
I dreamed I killed you again
Don't make me kill you again
'Cause I couldn't bear to kill you again
Ondine
Was here
You couldn't even take away a souvenir
Of what's left
Of that swinger
She used to call me that
I searched the whole room over
To find these words
She said
I had the strangest dream
I dreamed I killed you again
Don't make me kill you again
'Cause I couldn't bear to kill you
I had the strangest dream
I dreamed I killed you again
Don't make me kill you again
'Cause I couldn't bear to kill you again
Notes
The original Dial-a-Song version ran as follows:
Ondine, you won
All she left behind was an unloaded gun
And my face is blushing
From all the things she's done
You couldn't miss that girl
'Cause here she comes
Ondine, back up
Up over my body with your pick-up truck
And finish what you started
'Cause I'm done
I searched the whole room over
To find these words
Ondine
Ondine
Ondine was here
I couldn't even take away a souvenir
Of what's left of this singer
She used to call me that
I searched the whole room over
To find these words
Ondine
Ondine
To make the finished version of "Ondine," this song was merged with the following Dial-a-Song piece called "Don't Make Me Kill You Again."
Why'd you have to go
And wreck it apart?
Been waiting such a long time now
For the good times to start
Whatcha tryin' to prove (Don't make me kill you again)
By acting so tough? (Don't make me kill you again)
Figure out a way to say baby
And dust yourself off (Don't make me kill you again)
Whatcha tryin' to do
By rattling my cage?
Did you take some bad pill sometime
That makes you be this way?
Whatcha tryin' to prove (Don't make me kill you again)
By acting so tough? (Don't make me kill you again)
Figure out a way to say baby
And dust yourself off (Don't make me kill you again)
Why'd you have to go (Don't make me kill you again)
And wreck it apart? (Don't make me kill you again)
Been waiting such a long time now (Don't make me kill you again)
For the good times to start (Don't make me kill you again)
For the good times to start (Don't make me kill you again)
For the good times to start (Don't make me kill you again)
For the good times to start (Don't make me kill you again)
