Girlfriend Is Better (Live)

[Verse 1: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]

I...Who took the money?

Who took the money away?

And I...It's always showtime

Here at the edge of the stage

And I, I, I, wake up and wonder

What was the place, what was the name?

We wanna wait, but here we go again

I...takes over slowly

But doesn’t last very long

And I...no need to worry

Everything'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

[Chorus 1: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]

I’ve got a girlfriend that's better than that

She has the smoke in her eyes

She's moving up, going right through my heart

She's gonna give me surprise

Better than this, know that it's right

I think you can if you like

I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair

And nothing is better than that (Is it?)

[Verse 2: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]

Down, down in the basement

We hear the sound of machines

And I...I'm driving in circles

Come to my senses sometimes

Why, why, why, why start it over?

Nothing was lost, everything's free

I don't care how impossible it seems

[Chorus 2: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear

Get closer to be far away

Only one look and that’s all that it takes

Maybe that’s all that we need

All that it takes

All that it takes

All that it takes

All that it takes

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

She goes wherever she likes (There she goes)

[Chorus 3: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry]

I got a girlfriend that’s better than that

Oh, everybody's getting involved

As we get older and stop making sense

You won't find her waiting long

Stop making sense, stop making sense

Stop making sense, making sense (Hahahaha)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

And nothing is better than this

Oh, is it?
