Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
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 throught 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 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
is 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 hand
of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool.

I-I-I-daho
I-I-I-daho
Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh
Ah ah ah 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

  • feature away killbadd... :)

  • You're welcome.

  • Since you guys like B-52's maybe I'll post some more, how'd that be?

  • Thanks Beatwrt for the comment. I've never watched the episode you're referring to. Maybe you're right but like I said there's no telling with artist. Adam's Song by Blink 182 is a good example. When you listen to the lyrics you might conclude it's about teen suicide but I read an article and the band said it was about being out on road touring.

  • Read the lyrics it might help you out with the title. If I had to guess, (and with artist it's not always easy to interpret) it's mean too much introspection is not a good thing.

  • Man...I almost forget about my youtube account . Ha! Well, glad you enjoyed the vid. I can definitely relate to the lyrics being an over the road truck driver. That's where I live most of the time, "In my own private Idaho".

see all

  • ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • Alright alright, just.. raping the reapeat button here

  • @greenmanTN

    Yeah.

    Now it's all clear.

    Thanks a lot.

  • @roboroschi It's open to interpretation. My take is that Idaho is considered a "backward" state, repressed, not sophisticated. Perhaps there is a region of Italy that's mainly farmers, not known for art & music? Same thing. So someone "living in their own private Idaho" has that mindset no matter where they are. You could be in the middle of New York City or Rome and cling to that same narrow view & miss or even hate & fear the variety around them, never open up to new things. Make sense?
