David Byrne Glass, Concrete & Stone Lyrics

Glass, Concrete & Stone Lyrics

Now, I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn

To send a little money home from here to the moon

Is risin' like a discotheque

And now my bags are down and packed for traveling



Lookin' at happiness, keepin' my flavor fresh

Nobody knows I guess, how far I'll go, I know

So I'm leavin' at six O' clock, meet in a parkin' lot

Harriet Hendershot, 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 blowin' 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 puttin' 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

Let my body and soul be my guide
