i should watch tv with david byrne

St. Vincent

I used to think that I should watch Tv
I used to think that it was good for me
Wanted to know what folks were thinking
To understand the land I live in
And I would lose myself
And it would set me free

This is the place where common people go
A global franchise; one department store
Yes, there were many awkward moments
I had to do some self-atonement
Well, if I opened up
Well, it would set me free

I know, I like
Behold and love this giant
Big soul, big lips
That s me and I am this
Everybody is a touched up hairdo
Everybody s in the passing lane
Had a reason that she touched all channels
The weird things that live in there

I took a walk down to the park today
I wrote a song called Just Like You and Me
I heard the jokes from the sports reporter
The rival teams when they faced each other
The more I lost myself
The more it set me free

How am I not your brother
How are you not like me
Everybody s in the hotel lobby
I m living in here, yes I am
I feel it moving in my arms and fingers
Touch me, Feel happy

It s good to lose and it s good to win sometimes
It s good to die and it s good be alive
Maybe someday we can stand together
Not afraid of what we see
Maybe someday understand them better
The weird things inside of me
