David Byrne Crash Lyrics

Crash Lyrics

I`m tired of good-byes and burials
Friends I have known
Some I just met
Standing around
It`s hard to forget - now isn`t it?

The war started in Bethlehem
A quarrel between holy men
Rocket`s red glare
Night without end
Burning my eyes
It`s hard to forget - now isn`t it?

And if our cells are our destiny
I want to be free of biology
You are my friend
But I hurt you, too
It is not what
I intended to do
I saw my love by the restaurant
Diggin` for home fries in a garbage can
Ice cream and cake
Sweetness and light
A bottle of wine
Now that would be nice - wouldn`t it?
