Píseň: Strange Overtones

Interpret:
David Byrne
Album:
Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
I wake up every morning
I hear your feet on the stairs
Youre in the next apartment
I hear you singing over there


This groove is out of fashion
These beats are 20 years old
I saw you lend a hand to
The ones out standing in the cold


Strange overtones in the music you are playing
Iˈll harmonize
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough


Put on your socks and mittens
Itˈs getting colder tonight
A snowball in my kitchen
I watched it melt before my eyes


Your song still needs a chorus
I know youll figure it out
The rising of the verses
A change of key will let you out


Strange overtones though theyˈre slightly out of fashion
Iˈll harmonize
I see the music in your face
That your words cannot explain


Strange overtones in the music you are playing
Weˈre not alone
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough


Strange overtones in the music you are playing
Iˈll harmonize
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
