Private Idaho Songtext

Beware of the pool

Blue bottomless pool

It leads you straight

Right through the gate

That opens on the pool



You're living in your own Private Idaho

You're living in your own Private Idaho



Keep off the path, beware the gate
Watch out for signs that say "Hidden Driveways"

Don't let the chlorine in your eyes

Blind you to the awful surprise

That's a-waitin' for you at the bottom

Of the bottomless blue, blue, blue pool



You're livin in your own Private Idaho

Idaho

You're out of control, the rivers that roll

You fell into the water and down to Idaho

Get out of that state

Get out of that state you're in

You better beware



You're living in your own Private Idaho.

You're living in your own Private Idaho.



Keep off the patio

Keep off the path

The lawn may be green

But you better not be seen

Walkin' through the gate that leads you down

Down to a pool fraught with danger

It's a pool full of strangers



You're living in your own Private Idaho

Where do I go from here to a better state than this?

Well, don't be blind to the big surprise

Swimming 'round and 'round like the deadly hands

Of a radium clock at the bottom of the pool



I-I-I-daho

I-I-I-daho

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Get out of that state

Get out of that state

You're living in your own Private Idaho

Livin' in your own Private Idaho
