This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) - David Byrne

Home, is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I go numb, born with a weak heart I guess we 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 alright I know nothing's wrong Nothing's wrong Hey I got plenty of time Hey you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passage 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 Did I find you, or you found me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be where I'll be Hey we drift in and out Hey 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 Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me 'till my heart stops Love me 'till I'm dead Eyes light up, I see through you Cover up your blank spots Hit me on the head like a heee Like a heee Like a heee

Home It's where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I come home Born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun But the less we say about it the better Let's make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the clouds I'm okay, I know nothing's wrong Hi ho Got plenty of time Mm, yeah Hi ho 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 good night Say good night Home That's where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home You lifted up your wings I guess this must be the place Because I can't tell one from another Did I find you or you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks this is where I'll be Hi ho We drift in and out Mm, yeah Hi ho Sing into my mouth And out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view And I am just an animal looking for a home To share the same space for a minute or two Will you love me until my heart stops? Will you love me until I'm dead? You got eyes that'll light up Eyes that look through Cover up the blank spot Hit me on the head Say good night Say good night Say good night

Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me around I feel numb, born 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

Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me 'round I feel numb, born 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 With my feet on the ground, head in the sky It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing Oh, I got plenty of time Oh, 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 Guess that this must be the place Oh, I can't tell one from the other Did I find you, or did you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be Oh, we drift in and out Oh, sing into my mouth And out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view Oh, I'm just an animal looking for a home Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me 'til my heart stops Love me 'til I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head, ooh

The bullet went into him His skin did part in two Skin that women had touched The bullet passed on through The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail The bullet went into him His stomach filled with food Many fine meals he tasted there But the bullet passed on through The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail The bullet went into him Through his heart with thoughts of you Where your kisses he inhaled The lies and the truth The bullet went into him Traveled up into his head Through thoughts of love and hate The living and the dead The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail

Here is a region of abundant details Here is a region that is seldom used And here is a region that continues living Even when the other sections are removed Put your hand out of your pocket Wipe the sweat off of your brow Now it feels like a bad connection No more information now As it passes through your neurons Like a whisper in the dark Raise your eyes to one who loves you It is safe right where you are Here is an area of great confusion Here is a section that's extremely precise And here is an area that needs attention Here is the connection to the opposite side Here, too many sounds for your brain to comprehend Here the sound gets organised into things that make some sense Here there is something we call elucidation Is it the truth or merely a description? Here Here Here Here

There are no angels left in America anymore They left after the Second World War heading west Stopping briefly in Japan during the 60's Then in Tianamen Square during the last decade They kept heading west to who knows where What are they after? What are they looking for? A messiah who never comes? A virgin birth? A perfect drug? A sign, any kind of sign? Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary Flying over fields and factories Momma's going off her head Daddy's bringing home the bacon Open up the pearly gates Fruit of salty lubrication Tangled up in arms and legs I can barely touch the bottom Now I'm working up a sweat! I'm ready now I'm ready now I can barely touch my own self How could I touch someone else? I am just an advertisement For a version of myself Like molecules in constant motion Like a million nervous tics I am quivering in anticipation Like the sunlight on their wings I'm ready now (don't look back) I'm ready now (I'm ready for this) I'm ready now The sensuous world - the smell of the sea The sweat off their wings - the fruit from the trees The angel inside - who will meet me tonight On wings of desire - I come back alive I'm ready I'm ready (I put the dogs outside) I'm ready I'm ready (to take that ride) I'm ready now I'm ready now (to take that wine) I'm ready now but where are you?
