Slippery People (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry] What about the time You were rollin' over Fall on your face You must be having fun Walk lightly! Think of a time You'd best believe This thing is real Put away that gun This part is simple Try to recognize What is in your mind God help us! Help us lose our minds These slippery people Help us understand [Chorus: David Byrne, Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry, All] What's the matter with him? He's alright How do you know? The Lord won't mind No no no games He's alright Love from the bottom to the top Turn like a wheel He's alright See for yourself The Lord won't mind We're gonna move Right now Turn like a wheel inside a wheel [Verse 2: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry] I remember when Sittin' in the tub Pulled out the plug The water was runnin' out Cool down Stop actin' crazy They're gonna leave And we'll be on our own Seven times five They were living creatures Watch 'em come to life Right before your eyes Backsliding! How do you do? These slippery people Gonna see you through [Chorus: David Byrne, Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry, All] What's the matter with him? He's alright How do you know? The Lord won't mind No no no games He's alright Love from the bottom to the top Turn like a wheel He's alright See for yourself The Lord won't mind We're gonna move Right now Turn like a wheel inside a wheel [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus: David Byrne, Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry, All] What's the matter with him? He's alright How do you know? The Lord won't mind No no no games He's alright Love from the bottom to the top Turn like a wheel He's alright See for yourself The Lord won't mind We're gonna move Right now Turn like a wheel inside a wheel What's the matter with him? He's alright How do you know? The Lord won't mind No no no games He's alright Love from the bottom to the top Turn like a wheel He's alright See for yourself The Lord won't mind We're gonna move Right now Turn like a wheel inside a wheel [Outro: David Byrne, Ednah Holt, and Lynn Mabry] He's alright The Lord won't mind Alright, love from the bottom to the top He's alright The Lord won't mind Right now, turn like a wheel inside a wheel
