David Byrne - The Great Western Road

One of my favorite song of David Byrne Lyrics A man sticks his fingers inside of his mouth The words are stuck in there He fishes them out Whispers and mumbles, statements and verse, curses and love songs For nobody else Man takes a pencil and puts down his thoughts The old human highway from Eden to Nod Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, strangers and cripples In love with their lives How they dance In a trance Where the river bends Here we go Don’t you know That it never ends Some who ride Some who slide Everyone you know Travels on That great western road How they laugh Raise a glass Take a bottle down Any face any place In this northern town Dragging on Send them home, Glasgow and Rome Travel on That great western road
