Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better lyrics

I . . . who took the money?

Who took the money away?

I . . . it's always showtime

Here at the edge of the stage

Iiiwake up and wonder

What was the placewhat was the name?

We wanna waitbut here we go again...

I . . . takes over slowly

But doesn't last very long

I . . . no need to worry

Evr'ything's under control

O - u - t but no hard feelings

What do you know? take you away

We're being taken for a ride again

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

She has the smoke in her eyes

She's moving upgoing right through my house

She's ginna give me surprise

Better than thisknow that it's right

I think you can if you like

I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair

And nothing is better than that

Downdown in the basement

We hear the sound of machines

IiI'm driving in circles

Come to my senses sometimes

Whywhywhywhy start it over?

Nothing was losteverthing's free

I don't care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear

Get closer to be far away

Only one look and that's all that we need

Maybe that's all that it takes

All that it takesall that it takes

All that it takesall that it takes

I got a girlfriend that's betther than that

And she goes wherever she likes. (there she goes...)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

Now everyone's getting involved

She's moving up going right through my heart

We might not ever get caught

Going right through (try to stay cool) going throughstaying cool

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

And nothing is better than you

I got a girlfriend thats better that this

And you don't remember at all

As we get older and stop making sense

You won't find her waiting long

Stop making sensestop making sense...stop making sensemaking sense

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

And nothing is better that this

( is it? )
