David Byrne – Wanted For Life Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 38 Second

Fill the suitcase up- did he stiff somebody?
Will he testify?- if you say youre sorry

Grown men laugh when they heard that lie
10 to 12- gonna hang them high
Wanted for life
Hu hu- Im wanted for life

Ran outside
The buildings dropped
Now he stole the crown
Do the buggers never stop?
Said- wait a minute pop
Hoo Hey-Wait a minute pop

Now upon this earth
We stand on dirt
Well I Got tore down
But Im still standing up
Evry little drop
Im thankful for evry little drop

Torn and Frayed
Even though its full a holes
Get cha where ya wanna go
Get cha where ya wanna go

Even though youre smarter than me
Ill write your autobiography
Im using all the words up
I got my grammar in the 5 and dime
Im givin all the words up
Now I know the words are mine

If ya close your eyes- do ya picture money?
Did he change his mind? Does it keep you runnin?

The blind men sing

The girls gone wild
The statutes clear
And they emphasized
Wanted for life
Hoo hoo Im wanted for life

So, Swing that stick
Throw that rock
Inch by inch
Goin step by step
Yeah- wait a minute pop
Wait a minute pop

Now Upon this earth
We stand on dirt
We got torn down
But Im still standing up
Every little drop
Im thankful for evry little drop

Torn and frayed
My testimonys full of holes
Get me where I wanna go
Get cha where ya wanna go

Pardon me sir
I dont live here no more
But see thats the way it goes
Im moving on a gravel road

Pardon me sir
I dont live here no more
Maybe thats the way it goes
I guess that thats the way it goes

Pardon me sir
I dont live here no more
Im moving on a gravel road
Maybe thats the way it goes
