Lyrics David Byrne

David Byrne

And She Was

And she was lying in the grass

And she could hear the highway breathing

And she could see a nearby factory

She's making sure she is not dreaming

See the lights of a neighbor's house

Now she's starting to rise

Take a minute to concentrate

And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was

The world was moving she was floating above it and she was

And she was

And she was drifting through the backyard

And she was taking off her dress

And she was moving very slowly

Rising up above the earth

Moving into the universe

And she's drifting this way and that

Not touching the ground at all

And she's up above the yard

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was

The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was

She was proud about it, no doubt about it

She isn't sure about what she's done

No time to think about what to tell him

No time to think about what she's done

And she was

(Hey hey, hey hey, hey)

And she was looking at herself

And things were looking like a movie

She had a pleasant elevation

She's moving out in all directions

Oh, oh oh

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was

The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was

Joining the world of missing persons and she was

Missing enough to feel all right and she was

And she was

And she was

And she was

And she was!
