Life During Wartime

Dans le style de

Talking Heads

Paroles

heard of a van
that's loaded
with weapons
packed up and
ready to go

heard of some
gravesites
out by the highway
a place where
nobody knows

the sound of gunfire
off in the distance
i'm gettin'
used to it now
lived in a brownstone
lived in a ghetto
i've lived all over
this town

this ain't no party
this ain't no disco
this ain't no
foolin' around
no time for dancin'
or lovey dovey
i ain't got time
for that now

transmit the message
to the receiver
hope for an
answer someday
i got three passports
a couple of visa's
you don't even know
my real name

high on a hillside
the trucks
are loading
everything's
ready to roll

i sleep in the daytime
and i work in
the nighttime
i might not ever
get home

this ain't no party
this ain't no disco
this ain't no
foolin' around
this ain't no
mudd club or c.b.g.b.
i ain't got time
for that now

heard about houston
heard about detroit
heard about
pittsburgh pa.

you oughta know
not to stand
by the window
somebody see you
up there

i got some groceries
some peanut butter
to last a
couple of days
but i ain't got
no speakers

ain't got
no headphones
ain't got no
records to play

why stay in college
why go to
night school
gonna be
different this time

can't write a letter
can't send
no postcard
i ain't got time
for that now

trouble in transit
got through
the roadblock
we blended in
with the crowd

we've got computers
we're tappin'
phone lines
i know that
that ain't allowed

we dress like students
we dress
like housewives
or in a suit and a tie

i've changed
my hairstyle
so many times now
i don't know
what i look like

you make me shiver
i feel so tender
we make a
pretty good team
don't get exhausted
i'll do some drivin'
you oughta get
you some sleep

burned all
my notebooks
what good
are notebooks
they won't
help me survive

my chest is achin'
burns like a furnace
the burning
keeps me alive
