poor boy - david byrne & brian eno lyrics

Loading...

a truck parked this morning, outside the grocery store
friends face the future, they’re wearin’ summer clothes
great cosmic forces, like fallin’ dominoes
i love talking funny, it’s the only song i know
sweet smart and s-xy, the day my life began
burnt out and damaged, i dragged my body home
this slice is runny, it’s dripping down my clothes
and flies stick to honey, it’s the only game they know

poor boy – i walk into the river in my hat and shoes
poor boy – i’m sittin’ at the table with a knife and spoon
live fast die happy – don’t let your panties show
they trust market forces – it’s the only song they know

so come and rock my soul – where sin and sorry lie
white horses carry me – on to the other side

poor boy i’m livin’ in a country where my thoughts are cold
poor boy i’m waitin’ for the harvest of the seeds i sow

a flower in the night – with thoughts of days gone
i’ve got to ring that bell – and i’ll be satisfied

poor boy i’m wearin’ silver slippers and a long white gown
poor boy i picture in my mind the day the walls come down

poor boy i’m livin’ in a country where i’m never free
poor boy i’m writing down the names of all the things i see
