“Like Humans Do” was the first single released from David Byrne’s 2001 album Look Into The Eyeball.
The upbeat art-rock track, written from the point-of-view of a Martian, is about trying to love and accept human beings despite their failings.
Most famously, this song was selected by Microsoft to...
[Verse 1]
For millions of years
In millions of homes
A man loved a woman
A child it was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like humans do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
[Chorus]
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin' like
Humans do
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin' like
Humans do
[Verse 2]
I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead
I'm eatin', I'm laughin', I'm lovin' myself
I never watch TV except when I'm stoned
Like humans do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
[Chorus]
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin' like
Humans do
Ooh, I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin' like
Humans do
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funky house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin' in on a woman and a man
[Chorus]
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin' like
Humans do
[Outro]
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out, oh
