it s not dark up here

David Byrne

There s nothing funny about making money
It wouldn t work if it was
There s nothing funny about going to heaven
And there s nothing funny about love

Hey! It s not dark up here
Hey! It s not very far
Hey! It s cool in my house
Hey! It s loud in my car

It costs money if you want to party
And it costs money if you want to look
[?] ... Church is a High School
My hairdresser, she gives me the news

Hey! It s not dark up here
Hey! It s not very far
Hey! It s cool in my house
Hey! It s loud in my car

There s only one way to read a book
And there s only one way to watch tv
Well there s only one way to smell a flower
But there s millions of ways to be free

Does winter follow spring
Like night follows day
Must a question have an answer
Can t there be another way

Would you like to talk about it
Would you like to pull my hair
Plants have roots
But I don t know if they re deep enough to make me stay

Does winter follow spring
Like night follows day
Must a question have an answer
Can t there be another way

Hey! It s not dark up here
Hey! It s not very far
Hey! It s cool in my house
Hey! It s loud in my car
