Talking Heads - Lifetime Piling Up

Текст песни

I have tried marijuana
I get nervous every time
There will come a knockin’at the door
Why is everybody makin’eyes at me?
I don’t want to know
Excuse and pardon me Stay for a while
Maybe we’ll never
meet again
I can see my lifetime piling up I can see the days turn into nights
I can see the people on the street
Open those windows up A hundred floors below me Pilin’those houses up Pilin’them higher, higher, higher
I can feel them swayin’back and forth
Building it higher, higher
This tower’s learning over
I got bad coordination
Stuck a pencil in my eye
I can hardly wait to get back home
Why is everybody gettin’paranoid?
I’s only havin’fun
Scum-bags and superstars
Tell me your names
I’ll make a bet, you’re
both the same
I can see my lifetime pilin’up
Reaching from my bedroom to the stars
I can see the house where I was born
When I was growin’up — they say that
I could never keep my trousers up I remember days and crazy nights
Are there any pirates on this ship?
And if they sober up — they’ll have us Home by morning
Cry, cry, cry
It’s just you and I Like an automobile
with no one at the wheel
Spinning out of control
We’re all over the road
In our sexy machine
All the passengers scream
Scream, scream!
I can see my lifetime pilin’up
I can see it smashin’into yours
It was not an accident at all
Open your window up — I hear you laughin'
Goin’one, two, three, four, five
Goin’from the bottom to the top
Maybe I’m holding on too tight
And now I’m growin’up
I got a funny feeling
Pilin’those houses up Pilin’them higher, higher, higher
Building that highway to the stars
And turning the music up — Hey!
I got a winning number
