You & Eye

David Byrne

You & I ? may kill ourselves

You & I ? go straight to hell

Where they have barbeque & beer

Better than they do up here



And you know all the words to the songs



Yeah--we smoke cigarettes

We dance with the dead

They're soft to the touch

We drink way too much



And Darling, I think you'll like it here

You might like it here



U & I ? we ain't no saints

You & eye ? we can see our fates



We'll be the faces in the clouds

We'll be a gospel singer's shout

We'll be the lights from an airplane

at night



Hey yeah--I can't stay in my skin

I been in here too long

But I know where to find, a really good

time

And darlin' I think you'll like it here

You might like it here



I'm gonna fall in love

With ev'ryone I meet

And ev'ryone I see

And ev'rything I touch

And ev'rything I feel



Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?



I'm the look upon your face

The water on your lawn

The light from distant stars

The wreckage of a plane



The space between your teeth

The itch you cannot scratch

The mentally unfit

The pimple on your lip



Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way



I'm the ice cube in your glass

A busted Cadillac

The garden of delight

The joker in your deck



It ain't in what I feel

No, it ain't in what I say

And the pleasure of a kiss

It never fades away



Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way

It's supposed to be?

Isn't that the way



You & I
