Finite=alright

David Byrne

350 cities in the world

Just 30 teeth inside of heads

These are the limits to our experience

It's scary, but it's alright

And ev'rything is finite



Only one record in this whole wide world

Where Jimi Hendryx sings "House Burning Down"

Another Elvis will not come along

He got wasted but it's alright

And ev'rything is finite

Yeah he got wasted, but it's alright

And ev'rything is finite



I'm just a baby in my Daddy's arms

Who will protect me from these women's charms

I'm 6 ft. tall, but I can barely speak

My mind goes crazy when the taste is sweet



(Well) We've known each other eight years and twenty days

It's terrifying, it's beautiful too

Things have and end but feeling is infinite

We're changing, but it's alright

'Cause only things are finite

Yeah changin' alright

Things finite
