Perfect for whom, I wonder
The chicken thinks in mysterious ways
But beauty is not what we're after
Now the chicken imagines a heaven
Full of roosters and plenty of corn
And God is a very old rooster
And eggs are like Jesus, his son
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
Cockroach might eat Mona Lisa
The pope don't mean shit to a dog
And elephants don't read newspapers
And the kiss of a chicken is hot
The brain of a chicken
And the dick of a donkey
A pig in a blanket
And that's why you want me
What does it feel like
To be your tongue
Moving around in your mouth
To be free in the forest of your love
A cockroach in the cosmos of your house
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
I'm a blond, a brunette and a redhead
I thought up the birds and the bees
My software is famous all over
My money is crawling on trees
The mind is a soft boiled potato
A jewel in a chocolate shell
I staple my love to your heart dear
With [?] beautiful smells
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another

I used to love David Byrne. Owned all his albums. Knew every song. He was a god. Then one day I hated the sound of his voice. Maybe it was after I saw him in concert. He as an ass. I do love his album here lies love. But he doesn’t really sing on it. This song was painful to listen to. I think I just got sick of his cynical view of the world. And he is is too cool. All frill and no real substance. He only scratches the surface. I don’t know. Sad
Byrne's got a very distinctive voice - you always know it's him
I admit I never really listened to his stuff that much after the Talking Heads
But this song is fun little oddity
I've never been kissed by a chicken, but I was harassed and chased by a swan
Oh my, that was a large nasty bird
Speaking of large birds - did you guys know there was a Great Emu War of 1932 in Australia?
It's a pretty funny story, and the best part, the emus won!
Well Negative Nelly struck again. But then I learned of the Emu War and it made me smile.
