David Byrne Glass Concrete And Stone Lyrics

Glass Concrete And Stone Lyrics

Now

I'm waking at the crack of dawn

To send a little money home

From me to

The moon

Is rising like a discotheque

And now my bags are down and packed

For traveling

Looking at happiness

Keeping my flavor fresh

Nobody knows, I guess

How far I'll go

I know, so I'm

Leavin at six o'clock

Meet in the parking lot

??

Sunglasses on, she waits by this

Glass and concrete and stone

It is just a house, not a home



Skin

That covers me from head to toe

Except a couple tiny holes

And openings

Where

The city's blowing in and out

And this is what it's all about

Delightfully

Everything's possible

When you're an animal

Not inconceivable

How things can change

I know, so I'm

Putting on aftershave

Nothing is out of place

Gonna be on my way

Try to pretend

It's not

Only glass and concrete and stone

And it's just a house, not a home



And it's glass and concrete and stone

It is just a house, not a home

And my head is fifty feet high

Will my body and soul be my guide?
