I liked listening to this song, David is amazing, I kept saying to myself how did he say come up with something so gooood, beautiful lyrics, he is a story teller.
Although Abbas song transported me back to my NewYork days, Byrne said it all and more....anyway his lyrics worth reading again,
Shabbir
I used to think that I should watch TV
I used to think that it was good for me
Wanted to know what folks were thinking
To understand the land I live in
And I would lose myself and it would set me free
This is the place where common people go
A global franchise - one department store
Yes there were many awkward moments
I had to do some self-atonement
Well if I opened up well it might set me free
I know / I like
Behold and love this giant
Big soul / big lips
That's me and I am this
Ev'rybody gets a touched up hairdo
Ev'rybody's in the passing lane
Adoration makes you touch dark shadows
Weird things that live in there
I took a walk down to the park today
I wrote song called, "Just Like You and Me"
I heard the jokes from the sports reporter
The rival teams when they faced each other
The more I lost myself the more it set me free
How am I not your brother?
How are you not like me?
Ev'rybody's in the hotel lobby
I'm blending in here, yes I am
I feel it movin' in my arms and fingers
Touch me and feel my pain
It's good to lose and it's good to win sometimes
It's good to die and it's good to be alive
Maybe someday we can stand together
Not afraid of what our eyes might see
Maybe someday understand them better
The weird things inside of me
