Who - David Byrne

Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) 'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I took the tube back out of town Back to the Rollin' Pin I felt a little like a dying clown With a streak of Rin Tin Tin I stretched back and I hiccupped And looked back on my busy day Eleven hours in the Tin Pan God, there's got to be another way Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh, who are you(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh Who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Who are you? Ooh wa oo wa oo wa oo x11 Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) C'mon tell me who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh, I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I know there's a place you walked Where love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees I spit out like a sewer hole Yet still recieve your kiss How can I measure up to anyone now After such a love as this? Well who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell me who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh, I really wanna know? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell, tell me who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) C'mon, c'mon who? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh, Who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Oh, tell me who are you (Who are you?, ooo?) I really wanna to know Oh, I really want to know C'mon tell me who are you, you, you? Who are you?

The bullet went into him His skin did part in two Skin that women had touched The bullet passed on through The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail The bullet went into him His stomach filled with food Many fine meals he tasted there But the bullet passed on through The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail The bullet went into him Through his heart with thoughts of you Where your kisses he inhaled The lies and the truth The bullet went into him Traveled up into his head Through thoughts of love and hate The living and the dead The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail

Here is a region of abundant details Here is a region that is seldom used And here is a region that continues living Even when the other sections are removed Put your hand out of your pocket Wipe the sweat off of your brow Now it feels like a bad connection No more information now As it passes through your neurons Like a whisper in the dark Raise your eyes to one who loves you It is safe right where you are Here is an area of great confusion Here is a section that's extremely precise And here is an area that needs attention Here is the connection to the opposite side Here, too many sounds for your brain to comprehend Here the sound gets organised into things that make some sense Here there is something we call elucidation Is it the truth or merely a description? Here Here Here Here

There are no angels left in America anymore They left after the Second World War heading west Stopping briefly in Japan during the 60's Then in Tianamen Square during the last decade They kept heading west to who knows where What are they after? What are they looking for? A messiah who never comes? A virgin birth? A perfect drug? A sign, any kind of sign? Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary Flying over fields and factories Momma's going off her head Daddy's bringing home the bacon Open up the pearly gates Fruit of salty lubrication Tangled up in arms and legs I can barely touch the bottom Now I'm working up a sweat! I'm ready now I'm ready now I can barely touch my own self How could I touch someone else? I am just an advertisement For a version of myself Like molecules in constant motion Like a million nervous tics I am quivering in anticipation Like the sunlight on their wings I'm ready now (don't look back) I'm ready now (I'm ready for this) I'm ready now The sensuous world - the smell of the sea The sweat off their wings - the fruit from the trees The angel inside - who will meet me tonight On wings of desire - I come back alive I'm ready I'm ready (I put the dogs outside) I'm ready I'm ready (to take that ride) I'm ready now I'm ready now (to take that wine) I'm ready now but where are you?

Follow my voice I am right here Beyond this light Beyond all fear The clouds are passing by on Bye, my darling Your eyes are breeding love Sending in the light I consciously died I've seen dew on a rose I've seen a double rainbow I got a complicated soul To me, this city's hell But I know you call it home That was made for the green Made to belong The clouds are passing by on Bye, my darling Your eyes are breeding love Sending in the light They couldn't let it go No matter how hard has tried The clouds are passing by I've been called heartbreaker For doing justice to my own I, too, been a fault-finder But that life is broke How I love you- You're the one my heart chose And so I will be here And so I will be here Beyond this light Beyond all the fear Beyond this love Beyond all the fear The clouds are passing by on Bye, my dear Your eyes are breeding love Sending in the light

Back on tour Driving through southwestern towns I'd been in before Sun split ember, fields that span both ways forever When I first saw you The sky, it was such a natural blue Stars from a back porch They're talkin' but I don't say much anymore It's old news but if you're asking Been a long time since I've been moved But when I first saw you That feeling, it came over me too Natural blue Chicory burns grass at your knees Walk forward from your open wound Live in dreams, I remain forever Inside the colors you've shown to me When I first saw you The sky, it was such a natural blue The sky was such a natural blue Natural blue
