Lyrics David Byrne

David Byrne

It's Not Dark Up Here

There's nothing funny about making money well

It wouldn't work if it was

There's nothing funny about going to heaven

And there's nothing funny about love

Hey! It's not dark up here

Hey! It's not very far

Hey! It's cool in my house

Hey! It's loud in my car

It costs money if you want to party

And it costs money if you want to look

The Baptist Church is a highschool

My hairdresser, she gives me the news

Hey! It's not dark up here

Hey! It's not very far

Hey! It's cool in my house

Hey! It's loud in my car

There's only one way to read a book

And there's only one way to watch tv

Well there's only one way to smell a flower

But there's millions of ways to be free

Does winter follow spring

Like night follows day

Must a question have an answer

Can't there be another way

Would you like to talk about it

Would you like to pull my hair

Plants have roots

But I don't know if they're deep enough to make me stay

Does winter follow spring

Like night follows day

Must a question have an answer

Can't there be another way

Hey! It's not dark up here

Hey! It's not very far

Hey! It's cool in my house

Hey! It's loud in my car, hey!
