Dirty Old Town (LP版) - David Byrne[00:00:00]
Well there are sixteen people in Danny's apartment[00:00:16]
Sixteen people are living in there[00:00:21]
Remember the days of rent control[00:00:25]
Grandpa remembers rock and roll[00:00:29]
These days won't last forever[00:00:33]
These days won't last for long[00:00:36]
You know somebody somewhere owes us a favor[00:00:41]
That's how things really get done[00:00:46]
In this world of opportunities it's a land of possibilities[00:00:49]
We wanna live in a dirty old town[00:00:58]
Building it up tearing us down[00:01:02]
With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground[00:01:05]
We wanna live in a dirty old town[00:01:10]
Dirty old town[00:01:17]
Now when the ladies come from Kansas[00:01:30]
They wear their traditional colors[00:01:34]
Today the fabrics are ragged and torn[00:01:39]
The clothes on their backs is all that they own[00:01:43]
They say don't draw attention to yourself[00:01:46]
They'll tear you apart for a couple of bucks[00:01:51]
Keep you head down and keep you nose clean[00:01:55]
Cause people who're scared do dangerous things[00:01:59]
These days can't last forever[00:02:02]
These days can't last for long[00:02:06]
You know someday thinking's get better[00:02:11]
Somehow thinking's get done[00:02:15]
In this world of possibilities it's the land of opportunities[00:02:19]
We wanna live in a dirty old town[00:02:28]
Building it up tearing us down[00:02:32]
With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground[00:02:35]
We wanna live in a dirty old town[00:02:40]
Dirty old town[00:02:47]
These days shoes are worn only on special occasions[00:02:59]
Battles are fought for family and nations[00:03:04]
Maybe you'll pray but god isn't home[00:03:08]
And there's no guarantee that justice be done[00:03:12]
We wanna live in a dirty old town[00:03:18]
Building it up tearing us down[00:03:22]
With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground[00:03:26]
We wanna live in a dirty old town[00:03:31]
Dirty old town[00:03:38]
