PSYCHO
KILLER
(Talking
Heads)
I can't seem to face up
to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and
I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my
bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real
live wire
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
fa far better
Run run run run run run
run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
fa far better
Run run run run run run
run away
You start a conversation
you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but
you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say,
my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why
say it again?
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est Que C'est

Run run run run run run

ONCE
IN A LIFETIME
(Talking
Heads)
And you may find yourself
living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
in another part of the world
And you may find yourself
behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself
in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How
did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let
the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water
flowing underground
Into the blue again/after
the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water
flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful
house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful
wife!
Letting the days go by/let
the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water
flowing underground
Into the blue again/after
the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water
flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...Same
as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same
as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same
as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water
removing
There is water at the bottom
of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom
of the ocean
Remove the water at the
bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by/let
the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water
flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the
silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there
is water underground.
Letting the days go by/let
the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water
flowing underground
Into the blue again/after
the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water
flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway
go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?
Letting the days go by/let
the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water
flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the
silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there
is water underground.
Letting the days go by/let
the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water
flowing underground
Into the blue again/after
the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water
flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...Same
as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same
as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same
as it ever was... |
TAKE
ME TO THE RIVER
(Talking
Heads)
I don´t know why I
love her like I do
All the changes you put
me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven´t seen the
worst of it yet
I wanna know that you´ll
tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop
me in the water
Take me to the river, dip
me in the water
I don´t know why you
treat me so bad
Think of all the things
we could have had
Love is an ocean that I
can´t forget
My sweet sixteen I would
never regret
I wanna know that you´ll
tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop
me in the water
Push me in the river, dip
me in the water
Washing me down, washing
me
Hug me, squeeze me, love
me, tease me
Till I can´t, till
I can´t, till I can´t take no more of it
I don´t know why I
love you like I do
All the troubles you put
me through
Sixteen candles there on
my wall
And here am I the biggest
fool of them all
I wanna know that you´ll
tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and
drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop
me in the water. |
LIFE
DURING THE WARTIME LIVE
(Talking
Heads)
Heard of a van that is loaded
with weapons,
packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites,
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 brownstore, 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, a
couple of visas,
you don't even know my real
name
High on a hillside, the
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
Heard about Houston? Heard
about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh,
P. A.?
You oughta know not to stand
by the window
somebody might see you up
there
I got some groceries, some
peant butter,
to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers,
ain't got no
heaphones, 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 like to kiss you, I'd
love you hold you
I ain't got no time for
that now
Trouble in transit, got through
the roadblock,
we blended with the crowd
We got computer, we're tapping
pohne 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,
I 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 some sleep
Get you instructions, follow
directions,
then you should change your
address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the
next day,
whatever you think is best
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
Try to stay healthy, physical
fitness,
don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't
take no chances,
you better watch what you
say. |
