1.Girlfriend Is Better
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
Who took the money？
Who took the money away？
It's always show time
Here at the edge of the stage
Wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name？
We wanna wait, but here we go again
Takes over slowly but doesn't last very long
No need to worry evreything's under control
O U T but no hard feelings
What do you know, take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's coming up, going right through my house
She's gonna give me surprise
I think it's right, better than this
I think you can if you like
I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair
Nothing is better than that, is it？
Down, down in the basement we hear the sound of machines
I'm driving in circles come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over？
Nothing was lost, everthing's free
I don't care how impossible it seems
Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
And only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, now that it's right
All it takes if it's right
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And she goes wherever she likes, there she goes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everyone's getting involved
She's moving up going right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
Going right through try to stay cool, going through, staying
cool
I got a girlfriend she's better than that
And nothing is better than you
I got a girlfriend thats better that this
But you don't remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense
You won't find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense
Stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend she's better than that
And nothing is better that this, is it？
2.I Get Wild Or Wild Gravity
Fooled around enough with numbers
Let's not be ourselves today
Is it just my imagination
Is it just someone's fave
Pleasantly out of proportion
It's hard to hold on to the ground
Now I didn't come to run
And this is everything
And gravity lets you down
I get wild, wizing up
I just can't let go
I get wild when I get ready
I can hardly talk
Living lights
Special lights
Yellow turns blue
I get wild It's automatic
I can hardly move
Go ahead and pull the curtains
Check to see if I'm still here
Let me lose my perspective
Something worth waiting for
Somewhere in South Carolina
And gravity don't mean a thing
And all around the world
Each and ev'ryone
Playing with a heart of steel
I get up climbing out
How did I get home？
I'll survive the situation
Somebody shut the door
Beautiful
Beautiful
Climbing up the wall
I get by on automatic
No surprise at all
No one here can recognize you
Here is ev'rything that you like
Feelings without explanations
Somethings are hard to describe
The sound of a cigarette burning
A place there where ev'rything spins
And the sounds inside your mind
Is playing all the time
Playing with a heart of steel
I get wild, wizing up
I just can't let go
I get wild when I get ready
I can hardly talk
Red 'n' white black to gold
Yellow turns blue
I get wild It's automatic
I can hardly move
I get up pushing up
How did I get home？
I'll survive the situation
Somebody shut the door
Shut the door
Shut the door
Climbing up the wall
I get by on automatic
No surprise at all
3.Making Flippy Floppy
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
Nothing can come between us
Nothing gets you down
Nothing strikes your fancy
Nothing turns you on
You don't have to wait for more instructions
No one makes a monkey out of me
We lie on our backs, feet in air
Rest and relaxation, rocket to my brain
Snap into position
Bounce till you ache
Step out of line and
And you end up in jail
Doctor doctor
We have nothing in our pockets
We continue
But we have nothing left to offer
Faces pressed against the window
Hey! They are just my friends
Check this out don't be slick
Break our backs it goes like this
We are born without eyesight
We are born without sin
And our mama protects us
From the cold and the rain
We're in no hurry
Sugar and spice
We sing in the darkness
And we open our eyes, open up
I can't believe it
And people are strange
Our president's crazy
Did you hear what he said？
Business and pleasure
Lie right to your face
Divide it in sections
And then give it away
There are no big secrets
Don't believe what you read
Got great big bodies
Got great big heads
Run-a-run-a-run it all together
Check it out still don't make no sense
Makin' flippy floppy tryin' to do my best
Lock the door we'll kill the beast, kill it
4.Moon Rocks
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
Flying saucers, levitation, yo, I could do that
Get ready for heavy duty, go on, give it a chance
Give it a chance, give it a chance
I saw your hair start to curl, so get up
Write it down, you better wait for a while
So take your hands out of your pockets
Get your face adjusted, I heard it, somebody lied
And I'm staring out the window
Gonna let this thing continue, in its natural time
Roundheads, squareheads, get settled in
You can hear my belly rumble
There's a voice that starts to mumble
Woo, it's startin' to sing
Protons, neutrons, I ate a rock from the moon
Got shocked once, got shocked twice
Let's see what it can do
Man in the moon, the moon in the man
I got a rock in my throat, upside, upside down
My tummy start to talk, what it say？
Gonna rock it 'til I shock it
Gonna kick it 'til I drop it
Woo, love at first sight
You can kick it, you can poke it, ooh
I think you broke it, what about that？
Skin from a snake, blood from a stone
You know, that ain't no lie
I got hundreds of expressions
Try to make a good impression
Woo, right between the eye
I don't mind, let me go
Let me be, why not stay？
I feel numb, let me play
I got a wild imagination
Talkin' transubstantiation
Any version will do
I got mass communication
I'm the human corporation
I ate a rock from the moon
Moon in the rock, rock in the moon
There's a moon in my throat
You might think I'm wasting time
You might laugh but not for long
Hey! I'm workin' it out, work it out
I don't mind, let me go
Sounds inside, I don't know
Let me be, why not stay？
I feel numb, let me play
5.Pull up the Roots
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
Hello again, yes indeed my friend
I can tell goin' together again
I could be right, I could be wrong
I feel nice when I sing this song
And I don't mind whatever happens is fine
Baby likes to keep on playing
What do I know, what do I know？
Wilder than the place we live in
I'll take you there, I'll take you there
I don't mind some slight disorder
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
And I know every living creature
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
And I know you, I understand what you do
Yes, indeed I put the hat on my head
Come outa your mess bring yourself in
I feel nice when I start to sing
And I can see everyone else is like me
Towns that disappeared completely
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
Miles and miles of endless highway
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
Colored lights and shiny curtains
I'll take you there, I'll take you there
Everything has been forgiven
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
Well I have a good time when I go out of my mind
And it's a wonderful place and I can't wait to be there
And I hear beautiful sounds coming outa the ground
Gonna take us a while but we'll go hundreds of times
Baby likes to keep on playing
What do you know？ What do you know？
Wilder than the place we live in
I'll take you there and I'll take you there
And I don't mind some slight disorder
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
And no more time for talkin' it over
Pull up the roots, pull up the roots
Well I have a good time when I go out of my mind
And it's a wonderful place and I can't wait to be there
And I hear beautiful sounds coming outa the ground
Someone must've been high but I guess it's alright
6.Swamp
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
Now lemme tell you a story
The devil he has a plan
A bag of bones in his pocket
Got anything you want
No dust, no rocks
The whole thing is over
All those beauties in solid motion
All those beauties they are gonna swallow you up
Lets go
Hii, hii hii hii hii hii, yoo, oww oww oww
Hii, hii hii hi hii, hii
One time too many, too far to go
Hii, we come to take you home, hoo ooo
And when they split those atoms
It's hotter than the sun
Blood is a special substance
They gonna pray for that man
So wake up, young lovers
The whole thing is over
Watch out, touch monkeys
All that blood are gonna swallow you whole
Lets go
Hii, hii hii hii hii hii, errr rrr rrr, yea
Hii, hii hii hii hii, hii
So soft, hard feelings
No tricks, and lets go
Hii, we come to take you home
How many people do you think I am
Pretend I am somebody else
You can pretend I'm, and old millionaire
A millionaire washing his hands
Rattle the bones, dreams that stick out
A medical chart on the wall
Soft violence, hands touch your throat
Everyone wants to explode
And when your hands get dirty
Nobody knows you at all
Don't have a window to slip out of
Lights on, nobody home
Click click, see you later
Beta beta, no time to rest
Pika pika, risky business
All that blood, will never cover that mess
Lets go
Hii, hii hii hii hii hii, yoo, oww, oww, oww
Hii, hii hii hii hii, hii
Once more
Hii, hii hii hii hii hii, errr rrr rrr, yea
Hii, hii hii hii hii, hii
7.Burning Down the House
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard, transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are, fightin' fire with fire
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place
Sometimes I listen to myself, gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say
Baby what did you expect, gonna burst into flame, go ahead
My house is out of the ordinary
That's right don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support
And you have not seen nothing yet, every thing's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect
Staring into the TV set, fighting fire with fire
8.Slippery People
Lyricist：David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
What about the time？ You were rollin' over
Fall on your face you must be having fun
Walk lightly, think of a time
You'd best believe this think is real
Put away that gun this part is simple
Try to recognize what is in you mind？
God help us, help us loose our minds
These slippery people, help us understand
What's the matter with him？ He's alright
How do you know？ The Lord won't mind
No no no, he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself, the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
I remember when sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug the water was runnin' out
Cool down stop acting crazy
They're gonna leave and we'll be on our own
Seven times five they were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life right before your eyes
Backsliding, how do you do？
These slippery people, gonna see you through
What's the matter with him？ He's alright!
How do you know？ The Lord won't mind
No no no, he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself, the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
What's the matter with him？ He's alright
How do you know？ The Lord won't mind
No no no, he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself, the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
What's the matter with him？ He's alright
How do you know？ The Lord won't mind
No no no, he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel, he's alright
See for yourself, the Lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
He's alright, the Lord won't mind
He's alright, love from the bottom to the top
He's alright, the Lord won't mind
Right now, turn like a wheel inside a wheel
9.This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
Guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing
I got plenty of time
You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight
Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from the other
I find you, or you find me？
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be
We drift in and out
Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
And share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
