The Revolution (Live)

[Verse 1: Caetano Veloso]

Amplifiers and old guitars

Country music sung in bars

And when she sings, the revolution's near

[Verse 2: Caetano Veloso]

Beauty holds the microphone

And watches as we stumble home

And she can see the revolution now

[Chorus: Caetano Veloso & David Byrne]

Dirt and fish and trees and houses

Smoke and hands up women's blouses

Not like I expected it would be

Bubbles pop in every size

It's analyzed and criticized

And beauty knows that it is almost here

[Verse 3: Caetano Veloso]

Beauty goes to her address

She shuts the door and climbs the stairs

And when shе sleeps, the revolution grows

[Verse 4: Caetano Veloso & David Byrne]

Beauty rеsts on mattress springs

Wearing just her underthings

And when she wakes, the revolution wins

[Outro: Caetano Veloso & David Byrne]

When she wakes, the revolution's here

[Caetano Veloso]

Ladies and gentleman: David Byrne
