talking heads - lifetime piling up lyrics
i have tried marijuana
i get nervous every time
there will come a knockin’ at the door
why is everybody makin’ eyes at me?
i don’t want to know
excuse and pardon me
stay for a while
maybe we’ll never
meet again
i can see my lifetime piling up
i can see the days turn into nights
i can see the people on the street
open those windows up
a hundred floors below me
pilin’ those houses up
pilin’ them higher, higher, higher
i can feel them swayin’ back and forth
building it higher, higher
this tower’s learning over
i got bad coordination
stuck a pencil in my eye
i can hardly wait to get back home
why is everybody gettin’ paranoid?
i’s only havin’ fun
sc-m-bags and superstars
tell me your names
i’ll make a bet, you’re
both the same
i can see my lifetime pilin’ up
reaching from my bedroom to the stars
i can see the house where i was born
when i was growin’ up – they say that
i could never keep my trousers up
i remember days and crazy nights
are there any pirates on this ship?
and if they sober up – they’ll have us
home by morning
cry, cry, cry
it’s just you and i
like an automobile
with no one at the wheel
spinning out of control
we’re all over the road
in our s-xy machine
all the p-ssengers scream
scream, scream!
i can see my lifetime pilin’ up
i can see it smashin’ into yours
it was not an accident at all
open your window up – i hear you laughin’
goin’ one, two, three, four, five
goin’ from the bottom to the top
maybe i’m holding on too tight
and now i’m growin’ up
i got a funny feeling
pilin’ those houses up
pilin’ them higher, higher, higher
building that highway to the stars
and turning the music up – hey!
i got a winning number
