Lifetime Piling Up - Talking Heads

I have tried marijuana

I get nervous every time

There will come a knockin’at the door

Why is everybody makin’eyes at me?

I don’t want to know

Excuse and pardon me Stay for a while

Maybe we’ll never

meet again

I can see my lifetime piling up I can see the days turn into nights

I can see the people on the street

Open those windows up A hundred floors below me Pilin’those houses up Pilin’them higher, higher, higher

I can feel them swayin’back and forth

Building it higher, higher

This tower’s learning over

I got bad coordination

Stuck a pencil in my eye

I can hardly wait to get back home

Why is everybody gettin’paranoid?

I’s only havin’fun

Scum-bags and superstars

Tell me your names

I’ll make a bet, you’re

both the same

I can see my lifetime pilin’up

Reaching from my bedroom to the stars

I can see the house where I was born

When I was growin’up — they say that

I could never keep my trousers up I remember days and crazy nights

Are there any pirates on this ship?

And if they sober up — they’ll have us Home by morning

Cry, cry, cry

It’s just you and I Like an automobile

with no one at the wheel

Spinning out of control

We’re all over the road

In our sexy machine

All the passengers scream

Scream, scream!

I can see my lifetime pilin’up

I can see it smashin’into yours

It was not an accident at all

Open your window up — I hear you laughin'

Goin’one, two, three, four, five

Goin’from the bottom to the top

Maybe I’m holding on too tight

And now I’m growin’up

I got a funny feeling

Pilin’those houses up Pilin’them higher, higher, higher

Building that highway to the stars

And turning the music up — Hey!

I got a winning number
