SINGER: David Byrne

SONG:The Revolution

Amplifiers & old guitars
country music sung in bars
& when she sings the revolution's near
Beauty holds the microphone
& watches as we stumble home
& she can see the revolution now
Dirt & fish & trees & houses
smoke & hands up women's blouses
not like i expected it would be
Bubbles pop in every size
it's analyzed & criticized
& beauty knows that it is almost here
Beauty goes to her address
she shuts the door and climbs the stairs
& when she sleeps the revolution grows
Beauty rests on mattress strings
wearing just her underthings
& when she wakes the revolution's here
& when she wakes the revolution's here
