Brian Eno & David Byrne - Poor Boy lyrics

A truck parked this morning - outside the groc'ry store Friends face the future - they're wearin' summer clothes Great cosmic forces - like fallin' dominoes I love talking funny - it's the only song I know Sweet smart and s**y - the day my life began Burnt out and damaged - I dragged my body home This slice is runny - it's dripping down my clothes Flies stick to honey - it's the only game they know Poor boy-I walk into the river in my hat and shoes Poor boy-I'm sittin' at the table with a knife and spoon Life fast die happy- don't let your panties show They trust market forces - it's the only song they know So come and rock my soul - where sin and sorry lie White horses carry me - unto the other side Poor boy - I'm livin' in a country where my thoughts are cold Poor boy - I'm waitin' for the harvest of the seeds I sow A flower in the night - with thoughts of days gone by I've got to ring that bell - and I'll be satisfied Poor boy - I'm wearin' silver slippers and a long white gown Poor boy - I picture in my mind the day the walls come down Poor boy - I'm livin' in a country where I'm never free Poor boy - I'm writing down the names of all the things I see
