Lyrics: Sax And Violins
Album: Once in a Lifetime
Artist: Talking Heads
 

Falling, falling
Gonna drop like a stone
I’m falling through the atmosphere
On a warm afternoon
If lovers discover
That ev’ryone dies
So don’t tell me, please hold me
It’s a dangerous life

Daddy dear
Let’s get outta here
I’m scared
Ten o’clock
Nighttime in New York
It’s weird

If you’re looking for trouble
Well, that’s what you will find

Mom & Pop
They will fuck you up
For sure
Love so deep
Kills you in your sleep
It’s true

Love keeps us together
And love keeps us alive

And we – are criminals that never
broke no laws
And all – we needed was a net
to break our fall

They’re searching for diamonds
They’re grabbin’ at straws
Sex ‘n’ sin
Sax ‘n’ violins
It’s hell
Wooden heads
Furniture with legs
For sale

Love keeps us together
And love will drive us insane

And we – are criminals that never
broke no laws
And all – we needed was a net
to break our fall

Going home
Back where I belong
To stay
Rays of light
They will turn the light
To day

Birds travel together
Birds follow the sun
And I – am watching as the birds go flying home
