Twistin In The Wind Lyrics by David Byrne

Twistin In The Wind Lyrics

    Now washington, dc's
    A funny little town
    The further you look into it
    The further things stick out

    You oughta be ashamed
    You oughta be destroyed
    I'll chop you into little bits
    And feed you to my dogs

    Well well well well well
    What have we got here?
    What have we got now?
    Hey hey hey hey hey
    Twistin' in the wind
    Twistin' all night long

    Now can you picture this?
    A taste of what will be
    The weatherman is wrong again
    It looks like rain to me

    I heard the whistle blow
    The train has jumped the track
    The mighty engine's outa gas
    Bureaucratic heart attack

    My sister likes the boys
    They kinda like her, too
    My mama says, "be careful"
    Sister says, "now, that ain't cool"

    My daddy fell in love
    Down at the factory
    And me, i like to sit around
    Get high, and watch tv

    Well well well well well
    What have we got here?
    What have we got now?
    Hey hey hey hey hey
    Twistin' in the wind
    Twistin' all night long

    Now i can take a joke
    I'm laughin' at myself
    I faked my way through college
    And i faked my way through sex

    I've been falling down too long
    I've been bangin' up my head
    And if i could stay on my feet
    I'd prob'ly go right back again

    Now harry's got a gun
    And he just turned fourteen
    He dresses like a gangster
    And he's livin' on the street

    They kicked him in the balls
    They shaved off all his hair
    They put a current through his head
    And left him lyin' there

    Well well well well well
    What have we got here?
    What have we got now?
    Hey hey hey hey hey
    Twistin' in the wind
    Twistin' all night long

    They say that crime don't pay
    The judge does not agree
    'cause if you got the money
    He will surely set you free

    I'll watch you burn in hell
    I'll see you in your grave
    I'd like to watch you suffer for
    The evil that you made

    Hi-dee hi-dee ho
    What a funny clown
    The fat man he fell off the wall
    And he can't get up again

    It's time to say goodbye
    It's time to say goodnight
    Whoever is the last one out
    Well, please turn out the light
