Talking Heads - Lifetime Piling Up Lyrics
I have tried marijuanaI get nervous every timeThere will come a knockin at the doorWhy is everybody makin eyes at me?I dont want to knowExcuse and pardon meStay for a whileMaybe well neverMeet againI can see my lifetime piling upI can see the days turn into nightsI can see the people on the streetOpen those windows upA hundred floors below mePilin those houses upPilin them higher, higher, higherI can feel them swayin back and forthBuilding it higher, higherThis towers learning overI got bad coordinationStuck a pencil in my eyeI can hardly wait to get back homeWhy is everybody gettin paranoid?Is only havin funScum-bags and superstarsTell me your namesIll make a bet, youreBoth the sameI can see my lifetime pilin upReaching from my bedroom to the starsI can see the house where I was bornWhen I was growin up - they say thatI could never keep my trousers upI remember days and crazy nightsAre there any pirates on this ship?And if they sober up - theyll have usHome by morningCry, cry, cryIts just you and iLike an automobileWith no one at the wheelSpinning out of controlWere all over the roadIn our sexy machineAll the passengers screamScream, scream!I can see my lifetime pilin upI can see it smashin into yoursIt was not an accident at allOpen your window up - I hear you laughinGoin one, two, three, four, fiveGoin from the bottom to the topMaybe Im holding on too tightAnd now Im growin upI got a funny feelingPilin those houses upPilin them higher, higher, higherBuilding that highway to the starsAnd turning the music up - hey!I got a winning number
