David Byrne rarely addressed sex, love, or affection in Talking Heads songs before some on Little Creatures. From their conception, Talking Heads sought to present a view of the world that was as far from cliche as possible, and with that, so went the language of love. But even if they hadn’t been s...
A woman made a man
And a man, he made a house
And when they lay together
Little creatures all come out
Well, I've seen sex and I think it's alright
It makes those little creatures come to life
Well, I can laugh or I can turn away
Well, I've seen sex and I think it's okay
We are creatures, creatures of love
We are creatures, creatures of love
From the sleep of reason, a life is born
We are creatures, we are creatures of love
It's okay to be afraid
When the blue spark hits your brain
We can love one another
I've been told that it's okay
So doctor, doctor, tell me what I am
Am I one of those human beings?
Well, I can laugh or I can learn to think
So help me now to find out what to feel
Help me now
We are creatures, creatures of love
We are creatures, creatures of love
We've been here forever, before you were born
We are creatures of love, we are creatures of love
A man can drive a car
And a woman can be a boss
I'm a monkey and a flower
I'm everything at once
Well, a woman and a man can be together
If they decide to, they'll make little creatures
Watch 'em now!
Little creatures of love
With two arms and two legs
From a moment of passion
Now they cover the bed
Little creatures of love, we are creatures of love
We are creatures, creatures of love
We are creatures, creatures of love
From the sleep of reason, a life is born
We are creatures of love, we are creatures of love
We are creatures of love, we are creatures of love
