The dimming of the light makes the picture clearer / It’s just an old photograph, there’s nothing to hide / When the world was just beginning. / I memorized her face so it’s not forgotten
David Byrne & Marisa Monte / A stick, a stone, it’s the end of the road / É um resto de toco, it’s a little alone / It’s a sliver of glass, it’s life, it’s the sun
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
I introduce you to my friends / & that’s the last I see of you / All the world’s discovered my big secret / Everyone’s in love with you
Momma she had complications / There’s nothing very strange ‘bout that / Nuns said: We can’t kill that baby / We’ll have to let your mother die
I wish I was a camera / I wish I was a postcard / I welcome you to my house / You didn’t have to go far
When I heard the earth was burning / Like the fires of São joão / I asked God up there in His heaven / What is happening to us?
Raise up – shake them lazy bones / Read the T-shirt but still don’t understand / Comin’ home with a little apocalypse / It comes, now do you have time for this?
