TELEVISION MAN

david-byrne-in-the-big-suit:

He was a byrne, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He liked new wave, she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she’d never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends, stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his big ol’ clothes

He was a David Byrne, she said, “Fuck, it’s time to churn”
He was not good enough for her, she had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby, she’s all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
David Byrne rocking up MTV

She calls up her friends, they already know
And they’ve all got tickets to see his show
She tags along, stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a David Byrne, she said “Fuck, it’s time to churn”
He wasn’t good enough for her, now he’s a real big shot
His big suit just looks so hot
Does your pretty face see what he’s worth?

He was a David Byrne, she said “Fuck, it’s time to churn”
He wasn’t good enough for her, now he’s a real big shot
His big suit just looks so hot
Does your pretty face see what he’s worth?

Sorry girl, but you missed out
Well, tough luck, that Byrne’s mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn’t see
See the man that Byrne could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He’s just a Byrne and I’m just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love, haven’t you heard
How we rock each others world?

I’m with the David Byrne, I said “Fuck it’s time to churn”
I’ll do it backstage after the show, I’ll be at the studio
Singing that song we wrote
About that girl you used to know

I’m with the skater boy, I said “see ya later boy”
I’ll be backstage after the show, I’ll be at the studio
Singing that song we wrote
It is called “Now I’m Your Mom”
