Sax and Violins Songtext

von Talking Heads

Falling falling
Gonna drop like a stone
I'm falling through the atmosphere
On a warm afternoon
If lovers discover
That ev'ryone dies
So don't tell me, please hole me
It's a dangerous life

Daddy dear
Let's get outta here
I'm scared
10 o'clock
Nighttime in New York
It's weird

If you're looking for trouble
That's what you will find

Mom & pop
They will fuck you up
For sure
Love so deep
Kills you in your sleep
It's true

Love keeps us together
And love keeps us alive

And we - are criminals that never
Broke no laws
And all - we needed was a net
To break our fall

They're searching for diamonds
They're grabbin' at straws
Sex 'n' sin
Sax 'n' violins
It's hell
Wooden heads
Furniture with legs
For sale -

Love keeps us together
And love will drive us insane

And we - are criminals that never
Broke no laws
And all - we needed was a net
To break our fall

Going home
Back where I belong
To stay -
Rays of light
They will turn the light
TO day -

Birds travel together
Birds follow the sun
And I - am watching as the birds go flying home
