Houses in Motion

Lyrics

[Verse 1] For a long time I felt Without style and grace Wearing shoes with no socks In cold weather I knew my heart Was in the right place I knew I'd be able To do these things As we watch him Digging his own grave It's important to know That was where he's at Can't afford to stop That is what he believe He'll keep on digging For a thousand years [Chorus 1: David Byrne & Brian Eno] I'm walking a line I'm thinking about empty-motion I'm walking a line Just barely enough to be living Get outta the way No time to begin This isn't the time So nothing was done Not talking about Not many at all I'm turning around No trouble at all You notice there's nothing around you, 'round you I'm walking a line Divide and dissolve [Verse 2] Never get to say much Never get to talk Tell us a little bit But not too much Right about then Is where she give up She has closed her eyes She has give up hope [Chorus 2: David Byrne & Brian Eno] I'm walking a line I hate to be dreaming-in-motion I'm walking a line Just barely enough to be living Get outta the way No time to begin This isn't the time So nothing was done Not talking about Not many at all I'm turning around No trouble at all I'm keeping my fingers behind me, 'hind me I'm walking a line Divide and dissolve [Horn Solo #1] [Chorus 3: David Byrne & Brian Eno] I'm walking a line I'm visiting houses-in-motion I'm walking a line Just barely enough to be living Get outta the way No time to begin This isn't the time So nothing was done Not talking about Not many at all I'm turning around No trouble at all Two different houses surround you, 'round you I'm walking a line Divide and dissolve [Horn Solo #2]
