Private Idaho

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

You're living in your own private Idaho
Living in your own private Idaho

Underground like a wild potato
Don't go on the patio
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 of 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 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 the state
Get out of the 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
Your own private Idaho
Keep off the path
Your own private Idaho
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
Is a pool full of strangers

Hey, 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 hand
Of a radium clock
At the bottom of the pool

Idaho, Idaho
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Get out of the state
Get out of the state
You're living in your own private Idaho
Livin' in your own private Idaho
