David Byrne - WANTED FOR LIFE lyrics

rate me

Fill the suitcase up- did he stiff somebody?

Will he testify?- if you say you're sorry

Grown men laugh when they heard that lie

10 to 12- gonna hang them high

wanted for life

Hu hu- I'm wanted for life

Ran outside

The buildings dropped

Now he stole the crown

Do the buggers never stop?

Said- wait a minute pop

Hoo Hey-Wait a minute pop

Now upon this earth

We stand on dirt

Well I Got tore down

But I'm still standing up

Ev'ry little drop

(I'm thankful for) ev'ry little drop

Torn and Frayed

Even though it's full a holes

Get cha where ya wanna go

Get cha where ya wanna go

Even though you're smarter than me

I'll write your autobiography

I'm using all the words up

I got my grammar in the 5 and dime

I'm givin' all the words up

Now I know the words are mine

If ya close your eyes- do ya picture money?

Did he change his mind? Does it keep you runnin'?

The blind men sing

The girls gone wild

The statute's clear

And they emphasized

wanted for life

hoo hoo I'm wanted for life

So, Swing that stick

Throw that rock

Inch by inch

Goin step by step

Yeah- wait a minute pop

Wait a minute pop

Now Upon this earth

We stand on dirt

We got torn down

But I'm still standing up

Every little drop

(I'm thankful for) ev'ry little drop

Torn and frayed

My testimony's full of holes

Get me where I wanna go

Get cha where ya wanna go

Pardon me sir

I don't live here no more

But see that's the way it goes

I'm moving on a gravel road

Pardon me sir

I don't live here no more

Maybe that's the way it goes

I guess that that's the way it goes

Pardon me sir

I don't live here no more

I'm moving on a gravel road

Maybe that's the way it goes<br />

<br />
