“Hey, who wants to go to outer space? This next song is the theme to the fantasy-sci-fi-thriller "The Forbidden Zone”, playing tonight in theaters across town… or somewhere or other.“ – Danny Elfman
[Intro]
Woo!
[Verse 1]
Living in the sixth dimension, things get rough
Living in the sixth dimension can be tough
It's so hard when you're on your own
When you're on your own
[Verse 2]
Moving in the wrong direction brings bad luck
Living without protection really sucks
It's so hard when you're on your own
You might fall into the Forbidden Zone
[Chorus]
Going down, down, down
How far can you go?
You might fall into
The Forbidden Zone
Going down, down, down
'Cross the border line
The guards look scary
But the girls look pretty fine
[Bridge 1]
Okay, I'm a-goin' down
I'm a-goin' down
I'm a-goin' down, I know
Turnin' me around
Turnin' me around
Turnin' me around
I know-oh-oh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Bridge 2]
Living in the sixth dimension
Moving in the wrong direction
Living in the sixth dimension
(Living in the sixth dimension)
Moving in the wrong direction
(Moving in the wrong direction)
Living in the sixth dimension
(Living in the sixth dimension)
Moving in the wrong direction
It's so hard when you're on your own
When you're on your own
The Forbidden Zone!
[Chorus]
Going down, down, down
How far can you go?
You might fall into
The Forbidden Zone, hey!
Okay, going down, down, down
'Cross the border line
The guards look scary
But the girls look pretty fine
Okay, going 'round, 'round, 'round
Driving me insane
Everything looks different
But nothing has changed
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh!
