I'm mad...and that's a fact
I found out...animals don't help Animal think...they're pretty smart Shit on the ground...see in the dark. They wander around like a crazy dog Make a mistake in the parking lot Always bumping into things Always let you down down down down. They're never there when you need them They never come when you call them They're never there when you need them The never come when you call them down down down down. I know the animals...are laughing at us They don't even know...what a joke is I won't follow...animal's advice I don't care...if they're laughing at us. They're never there when you need them They never come when you call them They're never there when you need them The never come when you call them down down down down. They say they don't need money They're living on nuts and berries They say animals don't worry You know animals are hairy? They think they know what's best They're making a fool of us They ought to be more careful They're setting a bad example They have untroubled lives They think everything's nice They like to laugh at people They're setting a bad example (go ahead) laugh at me. |

Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime The people sleep, sleep in the daytime If they want to, if they want to I'm checking them out I'm checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out There's good points and bad points But it all works out I'm a little freaked out Find a city Find myself a city to live in. There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses Look over there!...A dry ice factory A good place to get some thinking done I'm checking them out I'm checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out There's good points and bad points But it all works out I'm a little freaked out Find a city Find myself a city to live in. Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks Do I smell? I smell home cooking It's only the river, it's only the river. I'm checking them out I'm checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out There's good points and bad points But it all works out I'm a little freaked out Find a city Find myself a city to live in. |

And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared and some are spots Feels like a murder but that's alright Somebody said there's too much light Pull down the shade and it's alright It'll be over in a minute or two. I'm charged up...Don't put me down Don't feel like talking...Don't mess around I feel mean...I feel O.K. I'm charged up...Electricity The boys are making a big mess This makes the girls all start to laugh I don't know what they're talking about The boys are worried, the girls are shocked They pick the sound and let it drop Nobody know what they're talking about I'm charged up...I'm kinda wooden I'm barely moving...I study motion I study myself...I fooled myself I'm charged up...It's pretty intense. I'm charged up...Don't put me down Don't feel like talking...Don't mess around I feel mean...I feel O.K. I'm charged up...Electricity. |

Electric guitar gets run over by a car on the highway
This is a crime against the state This is the meaning of life. To tune this electric guitar An electric guitar is brought in to a court of law The judge and the jury (twelve members of the jury) All listening to records This is a crime against the state This is the verdict they reach: Never listen to electric guitar Electric guitar is copies, the copy sounds better Call this the law of justice, call this freedom and liberty I thought I perjure myself, right infront of the jury! Is this a crime against the state? No! This is the verdict they reach: Someone controls electric guitar. |

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go Heard of some grave sites out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message to the receiver Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, couple of visas Don't even know my real name High on a hillside trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no mudd club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody might see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? why go to night school? Gonna be different this time? Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard I can't write nothing at all This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you I ain't got no time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now Don't know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive |

No, you don't remember anything at all I'm sleeping, I'm flat on my back Never woke up, had no regrets There's a party in my mind And I hope it never stops There's a party up there all the time They'll party till they drop Other people can go home Everybody else can split I'll be here all the time I can never quit Take a walk through the land of shadows Take a walk through the peaceful meadows Don't look so disappointed It isn't what you hoped for, is it? There's a party in my mind And I hope it never stops I'm stuck here in this seat I might not stand up Other people can go home Other people may go split I'll be here all the time I can never quit Everything is very quiet Everyone has gone to sleep I'm wide awake on memories These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait |

In the future there will only be paper money which will be personalised. In the future there will be a classless society. In the future everyone will only get to go home once a year. In the future everyone will stay home all the time. In the future we will not have time for leisure activities. In the future we will only "work" one day a week. In the future our bodies will be shrivelled up but our brains will be bigger. In the future there will be starving people everywhere. In the future people will live in space. In the future no one will be able to afford TV. In the future the helpless will be killed. In the future everyone will have their own style of way-out clothes In the future we will make love to anything, anytime, anywhere In the future there will be so much going on that no one will be able to keep track of it. |

from David Byrne - The Knee Plays (1985)
I thought that if I ate the food of the area I was visiting.
That I might assimilate the point of view of the people there. As if the point of view was somehow in the food. So I would make no choices myself regarding what food I ate. I would simply follow the examples of those around me. I would study menus very carefully, Making note of important differences and similarities. When shopping at the supermarket I felt a great desire to walk off with someone else's groceries So that I could study them at length And study their effects on me. As though if I ate their groceries I would become that person; until I finished their groceries. And we might find ourselves going to the same places. Running into one another at the movies Or in a shopping mall. Reading the same books. Watching the same TV programmes. Wearing the same clothes. Travelling to the same places. And taking the same pictures. Getting sick at the same time. And getting well again simultaneously. Finding ourselves attracted to the same people. Working at the same job. And making the same amount of money. Living identical lives ? as long as the groceries lasted. |

They were driving south on the highway
Their business was in another town Bigger than the town they were driving from. Business took place during office hours in both towns. This drive was considered business The feeling of passing other cars was also considered business A feeling of business being done. The feeling of drifting slowly through a field of moving vehicles. This was the REAL speed ? the speed of business. Not the numbers on the speedometer. One of them was playing with the radio Slowly changing the channel from one station to another Sometimes listening to both channels at once. On one channel a man was talking to another man on the telephone. The other channel was playing oldies: "Gone for Good" "Listening Wind" "Puzzle Power" "Beechwood Serenade" "Sunshine and Sugar" "Golden Windows" "Taste of Believing" "Carnival Girl" "Love Walks Away" "Wishing Well" "Knew You Could" "A Face Like That" "Dark Highway" "Shakin Venus" "Coloured Wheels" "Visit Me Quick" "Lonesome Money" "School of Heartache" "Painted Smiles" The sound of business being done. |

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe Drifting this way and that Not touching ground at all Up above the yard CHORUS She was glad about it... no doubt about it She isn't sure where she's gone No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions CHORUS |

There's a word for it
And words don't mean a thing There's name for it And names make all the difference in the world Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Let X make a statement Let breath pass through those cracked lips That man was my hero And now that word has been taken from us Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Give me back my name Give me back my name Something has been changed in my life Something has been changed in my life Something must be returned to us Something must me returned to us |

The dinosaurs did a dance The indians told a story Now it has come to pass The Indians had a legend The Spaniards lived for gold The white man came and killed them But they haven't really gone We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town From germany and Europe And Southern U.S.A. They made this little town here That we live in to this day The children of the white man Saw Indians on TV And heard about the legend How their city was a dream We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town The Civil War is over And World War One and Two If we can live together The dream it might come true Underneath the concrete The dream is still alive A hundred million lifetimes A world that never dies We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town |

I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away It moves the clouds over my new building I've picked the building that I want to live in I smell the pine trees and the beeches in the woods I see the pine cones that fall by the highway That's the highway that goes to the building I've picked the building that I want to live in It's over there, it's over there My building has every convenience It's gonna make life easy for me It's gonna be easy to get things done I will relax along with my loved ones Loved ones, loved ones visit the building Take the highway, park and come up and see me I'll be working, working, but if you come visit I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important Don't you worry 'bout me I wouldn't worry about me Don't you worry 'bout me Don't you worry 'bout me I see the states across this big nation I see the laws made in Washington, D.C. I think of the ones I consider my favorites I think of the people that are working for me Some civil servants are just like my loved ones They work so hard, and they try to be strong I'm a lucky guy to live in my building They all need buildings to help them along It's over there, it's over there My building has every convenience It's gonna make life easy for me It's gonna be easy to get things done I will relax along with my loved ones Loved ones, loved ones visit the building Take the highway, park and come up and see me I'll be working, working but if you come visit I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important I wouldn't worry 'bout me It wouldn't worry about me Don't you worry 'bout me Don't you worry 'bout me |

I think you take it...a little too far It's...not so cool to have so many problems But don't expect me to explain your indecisions Go...talk to your analyst, isn't that what they're paid for You walk, you talk...You still function like you used to It's not a question...Of your personality or style Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good In a world where people have problems In this world where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time (Here we go again) |
