David Byrne Walk On Water Lyrics

Walk On Water Lyrics

He can walk - on the water

But he can't stop fallin' in

He's livin' underwater

But he don't know how to swim



He's got amplifiers, microphones

Record players, God only knows

All the girls say, "Shut up and gimme the groove"



He keeps those hits a coming through

His blood is pourin out for you



In the church, Mama's ashes

Can't fill those empty spaces

Spaced out in the middle of town



One house is big enough for two

We'll fill it up before we're through



Wake up - the house is shaking

Get up - the dead awaken

Let go - you know that you can

Get up - you sleepy babies

Hello - you naked ladies

Walk on - you know that you can



Get up - you men & women

Walk on - like fishes swimming

Let go - you know that you can



Walk on the water - everyone drowns

My mama told me - I'm lost & I'm found

Walk like an angel - take off your shoes

Special occasion - scary & true

You dancin' babies - doin alright

Your mouth is movin' - kiss me sometime

Richard & Lisa - we're goin' down

Jason & Shawna - dance with someone



Walk on the water

Walk on the water
