David Byrne - Walk on Water lyrics
[David Byrne - Walk on Water lyrics]
He can walk - on the water
But he can't stop fallin' in
He's livin' underwater
But he don't know how to swim
He's got amplifiers, microphones
Record players, God only knows
All the girls say
"Shut up and gimme the groove"
He keeps those hit's a' comin' through
His blood is pourin' out for you
In the church, Mama's ashes
Can't fill those empty spaces
Spaced out in the middle of town
One house is big enough for two
We'll fill it up before we're through
Wake up, wake up, wake up
The house is shaking get up, get up, get up
The dead awaken let go, let go, let go
You know that you can get up, get up, get up
You sleepy babies hello, hello, hello
You naked ladies walk on, walk on, walk on
You know that you can
Get up, get up, get up you men & women
Walk on, walk on, walk on
Like fishes swimming let go, let go, let go
You know that you can
Walk on the water - everyone drowns
My mama told me - I'm lost & I'm found
Walk like an angel - take off your shoes
Special occasion - scary & true
You dancin' babies - doin' alright
Your mouth is movin' - kiss me sometime
Richard & Lisa - we're goin' down
Jason & Shawna - dance with someone
Walk on the water walk on the water
Walk on the water walk on the water
Walk on the water
But he can't stop fallin' in
He's livin' underwater
But he don't know how to swim
He's got amplifiers, microphones
Record players, God only knows
All the girls say
"Shut up and gimme the groove"
He keeps those hit's a' comin' through
His blood is pourin' out for you
In the church, Mama's ashes
Can't fill those empty spaces
Spaced out in the middle of town
One house is big enough for two
We'll fill it up before we're through
Wake up, wake up, wake up
The house is shaking get up, get up, get up
The dead awaken let go, let go, let go
You know that you can get up, get up, get up
You sleepy babies hello, hello, hello
You naked ladies walk on, walk on, walk on
You know that you can
Get up, get up, get up you men & women
Walk on, walk on, walk on
Like fishes swimming let go, let go, let go
You know that you can
Walk on the water - everyone drowns
My mama told me - I'm lost & I'm found
Walk like an angel - take off your shoes
Special occasion - scary & true
You dancin' babies - doin' alright
Your mouth is movin' - kiss me sometime
Richard & Lisa - we're goin' down
Jason & Shawna - dance with someone
Walk on the water walk on the water
Walk on the water walk on the water
Walk on the water
