Talking Heads — Lifetime Piling Up

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And I can see my lifetime pilin' 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 leaning over [Verse 2] 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 Scumbags and superstars, tell me your names I'll make a bet you're both the same [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Cry, cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry) It's just you and I (It's just you and I) Like an automobile (Like an automobile) With no one at the wheel (With no one at the wheel) We're spinning out of control (We're spinning out of control) We're all over the road (We're all over the road) In our sexy machine (In our sexy machine) Oh, the passengers scream, scream, scream [Chorus] 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' Going one, two, three, four, five Goin' from the bottom to the top Maybe I'm holding on too tight And now I'm throwin' up I got a funny feeling Pilin' those houses up Pilin' them higher, higher, higher Building that highway to the stars Turning the music up Hey, I got a winning number
