Lyrics David Byrne

David Byrne

Everything That Happens

I ride on a perfect freeway

Many people on that road

I heard the sound of someone laughing

I saw my neighbors car explode

Just up ahead

Against the sky

Quicker than you blink your eye

Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?

And among the living, we are giving,

All through the night

From the milk of human kindness

From the breast we all partake

Hungry for a social contract

She welcomes you with dark embrace

Puts socks and shoes

Upon our feet

Little fishes swim upstream

Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?

In the deepest silence, gold and diamonds,

All through the night

Everything that happens will happen today

And nothing has changed, but nothing's the same

And ev'ry tomorrow could be yesterday

And and ev'rything that happens will happen today

Ev'rything that happens will happen today

And nothing has changed but nothing's the same

And ev'ry tomorrow could be yesterday

And ev'rything that happens could happen today
