Lifetime Piling Up Lyrics by Talking Heads

Lifetime Piling Up Lyrics

    I have tried marijuana
    I get nervous every time
    There will come a knockin' at the door
    Why is everybody makin' eyes at me?
    I don't want to know
    Excuse and pardon me
    Stay for a while
    Maybe we'll never
    meet again

    I can see my lifetime piling up
    I can see the days turn into nights
    I can see the people on the street
    Open those windows up
    A hundred floors below me
    Pilin' those houses up
    Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
    I can feel them swayin' back and forth
    Building it higher, higher
    This tower's learning over

    I got bad coordination
    Stuck a pencil in my eye
    I can hardly wait to get back home
    Why is everybody gettin' paranoid?
    I's only havin' fun
    Scum-bags and superstars
    Tell me your names
    I'll make a bet, you're
    both the same

    I can see my lifetime pilin' up
    Reaching from my bedroom to the stars
    I can see the house where I was born
    When I was growin' up - they say that
    I could never keep my trousers up
    I remember days and crazy nights
    Are there any pirates on this ship?
    And if they sober up - they'll have us
    Home by morning

    Cry, cry, cry
    It's just you and I
    Like an automobile
    with no one at the wheel
    Spinning out of control
    We're all over the road
    In our sexy machine
    All the passengers scream
    Scream, scream!

    I can see my lifetime pilin' up
    I can see it smashin' into yours
    It was not an accident at all
    Open your window up - I hear you laughin'

    Goin' one, two, three, four, five
    Goin' from the bottom to the top
    Maybe I'm holding on too tight
    And now I'm growin' up
    I got a funny feeling
    Pilin' those houses up
    Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
    Building that highway to the stars
    And turning the music up - Hey!
    I got a winning number
