David Byrne - A Walk in the Dark
Click to view
I'm takin' all your little toys away You don't have any say so in your future The pretty colors and the shiny lights Do we just chase whatever we desire?
Oh silent night Oh holy night Sometimes you see me Sometimes you don't
You'll get to know me better After a walk in the dark The monster in the mirror We'll take a walk in the dark Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
I'm not afraid to close my eyes at night I'm not afraid of what my dreams will show me I saw a fish that had a human head I saw some things that I would like to show you:
The broken glass The car's on fire Open the cages And set them free
Mine eyes have seen the glory I took a walk in the dark It ain't no bedtime story We'll take a walk in the dark Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
Oooh - Who will help ya now? Surrender, My love Let it all come down Burn baby burn
Now Jesus, Mary and the Holy Ghost Took one look and they said, "Hey, we're lost!" "How the hell do we get outa here?" They shit their pants, they got so scared
So no matter who you are Ya need a walk in the dark The sweetest thing I ever saw I took a walk in the dark Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
woot awesome tuneage
talking heads...top group
the uh oh album is really good material
