Private Idaho

You're living in your own private Idaho
Living in your own private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato
Mama, 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 the gate (you're own private Idaho)
Watch out for signs that say "Hidden driveways" (you're own private Idaho)

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 of

You're living in your own private Idaho
You're living in your own private Idaho
Keep off the patio (you're own private Idaho)
Keep off the path (you're 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

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
I-I-I-daho, I-I-I-daho

Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own private Idaho
Livin in your own private
Idaho
