Talking Heads - Memories Can't Wait lyrics
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons,
 packed up and ready to go
 Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway,
 a place where nobody knows
 The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
 I'm getting used to it now
 Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto,
 I've lived all over this town
 This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
 this ain't no fooling around
 No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
 I ain't got time for that now
 Transmit the message, to the receiver,
 hope for an answer some day
 I got three passports, a couple of visas,
 you don't even know my real name
 High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
 everything's ready to roll
 I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime,
 I might not ever get home
 This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
 this ain't no fooling around
 This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.,
 I ain't got time for that now
 Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
 Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
 You oughta know not to stand by the window
 somebody might see you up there
 I got some groceries, some peant butter,
 to last a couple of days
 But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no
 headphones, ain't got no records to playTalking Heads - Memories Can't Wait - http://motolyrics.com/talking-heads/memories-cant-wait-lyrics.html
 Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
 Gonna be different this time
 Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
 I can't write nothing at all
 This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
 this ain't no fooling around
 I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
 I ain't got no time for that now
 Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
 we blended with the crowd
 We got computer, we're tapping pohne lines,
 I know that ain't allowed
 We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
 or in a suit and a tie
 I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
 I don't know what I look like!
 You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
 we make a pretty good team
 Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving,
 you ought to get some sleep
 Get you instructions, follow directions,
 then you should change your address
 Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day,
 whatever you think is best
 Burned all my notebooks, what good are
 notebooks? They won't help me survive
 My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
 the burning keeps me alive
 Try to stay healthy, physical fitness,
 don't want to catch no disease
 Try to be careful, don't take no chances,
 you better watch what you say
