Crosseyed and Painless (Live)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: David Byrne]
Lost my shape trying to act casual
Can't stop, I might end up in the hospital
Woah, changing my shape, I feel like an accident
They’re back to explain their experience (Haha)

[Chorus 1: Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]
Isn't it weird? Sounds too absurd to me
Wasting away, that was the policy

[Verse 2: David Byrne]
I'm ready to leave, I push the facts in front of me
Facts lost, facts are never what they seem to be
There’s nothing there, no information left of any kind
Lifting my head, lo-lo-looking for danger signs

[Chorus 2: Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]
There was a line, there was a formula
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us
There was a line, there was a formula
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: David Byrne, Ednah Holt, and Lynn Mabry]
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I-I'm still waiting (Na-na-na-na)
I'm still waiting

[Chorus 3: Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]
The feeling returns whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head, looking around inside

[Verse 3: David Byrne]
The island of doubt, it's like a taste of medicine
Working by hindsight, got the message from the oxygen
Making a list, find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right-right-right, facts are useless in emergencies (Na-na-na)

[Chorus 3: Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]
The feeling returns, whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head, looking around inside

[Verse 4: David Byrne]
Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are lame
Facts don't come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them

[Outro: David Byrne, Ednah Holt, and Lynn Mabry]
Still waiting (M-m-m-my)
I’m still waiting (Huh)
I’m still waiting (Huh-uh-uh-uhuhuh)
I'm still waiting
I’m still waiting (Ha-ha-haha)
I'm still waiting (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohoh)
I'm still waiting (He-he-hoo)
I'm still waiting (Bl-bl-bl-bl)
I’m still waiting (Hi-yi-yi-yi)
I'm still waiting (Huhuhuh)
I'm still waiting (I-I-I)
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
Thank you, we'd like to thank our crew
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
