Marching Through The Wilderness

David Byrne

Yeah, we are the noise
The noise between stations
Yeah itsa kinda strange
Oh boy! A strange situation
I walk like a building
I never get wet
I'm looking at ladies
I'm talking like men
I don't work for the city
I don't work for the state
It's none 'a' your business
I'm doin' all right
Marching through the wilderness
Crying out for tenderness
They call me Mr. Pitiful
But ev'rything is wonderful
I'm workin' real steady
I'm workin' real hard
I'm building a monster
In my backyard
Money doesn't matter
Babies never lie
I'm going in the out door
I'm doing all right
Marching through the wilderness
Crying out for tenderness
They call me Mr. Pitiful
But ev'rything is wonderful
I walk like a building
I never get wet
I'm looking at ladies
I'm talking like men
Marching through the wilderness
Crying out for tenderness
They call me Mr. Pitiful
But ev'rything is wonderful
Marching through the wilderness
Crying out for tenderness
They call me Mr. Pitiful
But ev'rything is wonderful
Soy el galan de las penas
Llorando
Sin compasión

Good And Evil

David Byrne

Caught you walkin' like a gangster
Saw you grabbin' the controls
Now you're almost outta batteries
You gotta sweater much too small
Pokin' at your navel
Pointin? your finger too
You say your lips don't even stick together
When the dust comes up
Blowin' 'cross the plains
Pictures fallin' in and outta their frames!
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, they turned into people
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, they turned into people
You know that roses and lilacs are funky too ?
Let 'em go at it, let's see what they do
Now we're wrestlin' with the forces of good and evil
They turned 'em loose, they turned into people
I have seen you do things backward
You don't believe a word I say
Now you're holdin' sticky paper
Money never fades away
Talkin' like a monster
Smellin' like a baby
You got a head like a bowl full of cherries
So don't be surprised
You got what it takes
Messin' round like monkeys and apes
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, they turned into people
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, they turned into people
You know that roses and lilacs are funky too ?
Let 'em go at it, let's see what they do
Now we're wrestlin' with the forces of good and evil
They turned 'em loose, they turned into people

Lie To Me

David Byrne

It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream
And you know I don't care if things are not what they seem
Making up stories that you know aren't true
But you know it's all right 'cause I know it too
Who is the lady with the sno-cone eyes?
Who has the candy with the soft insides?
Talk show religion
And soap opera love
Whatever happened to
Heavens above?
Well you can lie to me
And I imagine you do
If nothin's right
What's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
Birds are flying from east to west
Dogs are running a political race
Twinkle Twinkle
Little Star
How I wonder
Who you are...
Well you can lie to me
And I imagine you do
If nothin's right
What's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream
And you know I don't care if things are not what they seem
I wanna be happy, I can't stand the pain
I want to believe, so tell me again
I'm like a chicken without a head
I'd like to fly, but I walk instead
Emotional junkies
How blind we must be
I'm just a fool for your
Las Vegas tears...
Well you can lie to me
And I imagine you do
If nothin's right
What's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
