How Bizarre
OMC Feat.Sina Siapia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruisin' down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice booming
"Please step out onto the line"
Pele preaches words of comfort
Zina just hides her eyes
"Is that a Chevy '69?"
How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre
Destination unknown as we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the past
Elephants and acrobats, lions, snakes, monkey
Pele speaks "righteous," Sister Zina says "funky"
How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre
Ooh, baby (ooh, baby)
It's making me crazy (it's making me crazy)
Every time I look around (look around)
Every time I look around (every time I look around)
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Ringmaster steps out, says "The elephants left town"
People jump and jive and the clowns have stuck around
TV news and cameras, there's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters ask where, for and why
Pele yells, "We're outta here," Zina says, "Right on"
Making moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
Jumped into the Chevy, headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights
How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre
Ooh, baby (ooh, baby)
It's making me crazy (it's making me crazy)
Every time I look around (look around)
Every time I look around (every time I look around)
Every time I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face
Ooh, baby (ooh, baby)
It's making me crazy (it's making me crazy)
Every time I look around (look around)
Every time I look around (every time I look around)
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Ooh, baby (ooh, baby)
It's making me crazy (it's making me crazy)
Every time I look around (look around)
Every time I look around (look around)
Every time I look around
It's in my face

She was very charming in the OMC video. Yes, attractive for sure, but her smile and eyeball glances were the best. Really would appreciate her getting into some song production again. She has a lovely voice.

I recently read that Sina's album was finally released a year or two ago. Does anyone know how it can be purchased in the United States, and if it is available in a traditional format such as CD or vinyl?
