Lifetime Piling Up — текст песни (Talking Heads)

I have tried marijuana

I get nervous every time

There will come a knockin` at the door

Why is everybody makin` eyes at me?

I don`t want to know

Excuse and pardon me

Stay for a while

Maybe we`ll never

meet again



I can see my lifetime piling up

I can see the days turn into nights

I can see the people on the street

Open those windows up

A hundred floors below me

Pilin` those houses up

Pilin` them higher, higher, higher

I can feel them swayin` back and forth

Building it higher, higher

This tower`s learning over



I got bad coordination

Stuck a pencil in my eye

I can hardly wait to get back home

Why is everybody gettin` paranoid?

I`s only havin` fun

Scum-bags and superstars

Tell me your names

I`ll make a bet, you`re

both the same



I can see my lifetime pilin` up

Reaching from my bedroom to the stars

I can see the house where I was born

When I was growin` up - they say that

I could never keep my trousers up

I remember days and crazy nights

Are there any pirates on this ship?

And if they sober up - they`ll have us

Home by morning



Cry, cry, cry

It`s just you and I

Like an automobile

with no one at the wheel

Spinning out of control

We`re all over the road

In our sexy machine

All the passengers scream

Scream, scream!



I can see my lifetime pilin` up

I can see it smashin` into yours

It was not an accident at all

Open your window up - I hear you laughin`



Goin` one, two, three, four, five

Goin` from the bottom to the top

Maybe I`m holding on too tight

And now I`m growin` up

I got a funny feeling

Pilin` those houses up

Pilin` them higher, higher, higher

Building that highway to the stars

And turning the music up - Hey!

I got a winning number
