Lyrics

[Verse 1: Montaigne] Would you live in a house with me? Plant your feet on solid ground with me? No more reaching for the stars Just the trees in the yard I would give almost anything Like my teeth or some oxygen To be looking at you At sunset, cooking food [Chorus: Montaigne, Montaigne & David Byrne] It's hard to be religious It's easy to devote myself To you To you [Verse 2: David Byrne] I could live in a shack for two A little house with a yard would do All that striving to succeed Here is everything I need I have learned how to sing this song How to cook, is the taste too strong? As the starlight fades away Look at this, it's okay [Chorus: Montaigne, Montaigne & David Byrne] It's hard to be religious It's easy to devote myself To you To you [Bridge: Montaigne & David Byrne] The stars arе indifferent The sky always changеs Celestial bodies All make themselves strangers Adventure is lovely But I'm much too tired now As I sleep, I imagine A book with no pages A story unfolding On improvised stages Much singing and dancing, but Can we go home now? [Verse 3: David Byrne] I have travelled around the world I have seen how the cosmos swirled It is big, but here we are Just as beautiful as stars [Verse 4: Montaigne] Would you live in a house with a garden? Would you work on your play in the study? Would you plant some rocket for our salads? Would you worship gravity with me?
