David Byrne - STRANGE OVERTONES lyrics

rate me

I wake up ev'ry morning

I hear your feet on the stairs

You're in the next apartment

I hear you singing over there--

This groove is out of fashion

These beats are 20 years old

I saw you lend a hand to

The one's out standing in the cold--

Chorus: Strange Overtones

In the music you are playing

I'll harmonize

It is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough-

Put on your socks and mittens

It's getting colder tonight

A snowball in my kitchen

I watched it melt before my eyes--

Your song still needs a chorus

I know you'll figure it out

The rising of the verses

A change of key will let you out--

Strange overtones

Though they're slightly out of fashion

I'll harmonize

I see the music in your face

That your words cannot explain

Strange Overtones

In the music you are playing

We're not alone

It is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough--<br />

<br />
