David Byrne - It's Not Dark Up Here Lyrics






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
[?]
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

    Making money must be funny in a rich man's world...No doors in your house.. I party without money.. Life is a Journey and we party on the way through.. I read upside down.. Free to be.. For those who can.. No answer for they all ask Why There must be a way out of all this.. There is I fly by Close your eyes let your soul feel the rhythm of life.. I like to talk I maybe talk too much.. Accept No I will not accept what they say I like what you say..

    I waited 25 years and finally got to see him live in Hershey. It was awesome. He's inspired right now. Only the bassist had a better time than me.

  19. N.... A....

    David still relevant and great to listen to him with his Luka Bop rhythms as the back bone. He said that the band would be moving in performance! Nothing is out of the question for him if he imagines it.
