This is not a David Byrne song, it is a Captain Beefheart song titled 'Well'.
|
David Byrne had performed it live
|
|
|
Light floats down day river on uh red raft o' blood
|
Night blocks out d' heaven like uh big black shiny bug
|
Its hard soft shell shinin' white in one spot well
|
It's hard place dat I'm livin' but I'm doin' well well
|
The white ice horse melted like uh spot uh silver well
|
Its mane went last then disappeared the tail
|
My life ran thru my veins
|
Whistlin' hollow well
|
I froze in solid motion well well
|
I heard the ocean swarmin' body well well
|
I heard the beetle clickin' well
|
I sensed the thickest silence scream
|
Then I begin t' dream
|
My mind cracked like custard
|
Ran red until it sealed
|
Turn t' wooden 'n rolled like uh wheel well well
|
Thick black felt birds uh flyin'
|
With capes of solid chrome
|
With feathers of solid chrome
|
'n beaks of solid bone
|
'n bleach the air around them
|
White 'n cold well well
|
Till it showed in pain
|
The hollow cane clicked like ever after
|
Its shadow vanished shinin' silence
|
Well well
|
