Talking Heads - Making Flippy Floppy lyrics

Nothin gets you down

Nothing strikes your fancy

Nothing turns you on

Somebody is waiting in the hallway

Somebody is falling down the stairs

Set someone free, break someone's heart

Stand up help us out

Ev'rything is divided

Nothing is complete

Ev'rything looks impressive

Do not be deceived

You don't have to wait for more instructions

No one makes a monkey out of me

We lie on our backs, feet in the air

Rest and relaxation, rocket to my brain

Snap into position

Bounce till you ache

Step out of line

And you end up in jail

Bring me a doctor

I have a hole in my head

But they are just people

And I'm not afraid

Doctor Doctor

We have nothing in our pockets

We continue

But we have nothing left to offer

Faces pressed against the window

Hey! they are just my friends

Check this out don't be slick

Break our backs it goes like this . . .

We are born without eyesight

We are born without sin

And our mama protects us

From the cold and the rain

We're in no hurry

sugar and spice

We sing in the darkness

We poen our eyes (open up)

I can't believe it

And people are strange

Our president's crazy

Did you hear what he said

Business and pleasure

Lie right to your face

Divide it in sections

And then give it away

There are no big secrets

Don't believe what you read

We have great big bodies

We got great big heads

Run-a-run-a-run it all together

Check it out - still don't make no sense

Makin' flippy floppy

Tryin to do my best

Lock the door

We kill the beast

Kill it
