And She Was Songtext

von David Byrne

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming

See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
And she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth

Moving into the universe
And she's drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all
And she's up above the yard

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was

She was proud about it, no doubt about it
She isn't sure about what she's done
No time to think about what to tell him
No time to think about what she's done
And she was
(Hey hey, hey hey, hey)

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions
Oh, oh oh

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving, she was floating above it and she was

Joining the world of missing persons and she was
Missing enough to feel all right and she was

And she was
And she was
And she was
And she was!
