David Byrne - Glass, Concrete And Pain lyrics

rate me

Now I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn

To send a little money home from here to

The moon is rising like a disco tech

And now my bags are down and packed for travelin'

Lookin' at happiness

Keepin' my flavor fresh

Nobody knows I guess

How far I'll go

I know

So I'm leaving at six o'clock

Meet in a parking lot

Have me a hand to shot

Sunglasses on

She waits by this glass and concrete and stone

It is just a house not a home

Skin that covers me from head to toe

Except a couple tiny holes and opennings

Where the cities blowin in and out

And this is what it's all about

Your life fully

Everythings possible when you're an animal

Not inconceivable

How things can change I know

So im putting on after shave

Nothing is out of place

Gonna be on my way

Try to pretend it's not only glass and concrete and stone

And it's just a house not a home

And its glass and concrete and stone

It is just a house not a home

And my head is fifty feet high

But my body and soul be not God
