Sad Song

David Byrne

You may think I look sad

But I am just sleeping

It's my facial expression

I'm probably dreaming



Would you like to be sad?

Would you like me to teach you?

Well, you can learn to be sad

But you must practice like I do



You must follow directions

And learn it right from the start

There isn't a short cut

It must come from your heart



There are those who are happy

There are those who are wise

But it's the truly sad people

Who get the most out of life



You may think I look sad

But I am just sleeping

It's my facial expression

I'm probably dreaming
