Life Is Long - David Byrne/Brian Eno

With any luck, life is long. Enjoy today, friends. It’s a special day in my neighborhood. I’m staying home with my entire sick family. Oh, and bonus horns for Giselle. If you run into fancyglasses, tell her happy birthday.

Everybody says that the living is easy
I can barely see ‘cause my head’s in the way
Tigers walk behind me- they are to remind me that
I’m lost- but I’m not afraid

Soul to soul- A kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half- by the passage of time
Halfway home- from a window you see
Chains and bars- but I am still free

People on the outside- I remember sweet times
This old rose- is always in bloom
Everybody’s happy- to be a baby daddy
Stone love- with nothing to lose

Life is long- if you give it way
So stay, don’t go- ‘cause I’m fading away
Soul to soul- between you and me
Chain me down- but I am still free.
