Dinner For Two Lyrics - Love This Giant - David Byrne & St. Vincent

By the time the guests arrive 

Ooo, already it was dark outside 

Tables set with china dishes 

We're welcomed in with tiny kisses 

What's her name; I don't remember 

Isn't that the famous author 

Harry's gonna get some appetizers 

Well, he's keeping out of range of small arms fire 

Dina has a phone; she says it's working 

Now she's crawling on the floor, across the kitchen 

Something I should tell you, 

But we are never alone 

Tanks outside the bedroom window 

We'll be okay with the curtain closed 

The guests are fine behind the sofa 

It's much too late, they should not go home 

Something I should tell you, 

But we are never alone 

Up by dawn, already morning 

I ask myself what is going on 

Some tender words and sidelong glances 

Are you okay, have you lived here long? 

Underneath the stairway, 

Somebody's changing her clothes 

Sweaters and a t-shirt, 

Silk dresses cover the floor 

Sit down by my side 

Take my overcoat 

When will we get out 

Maybe we will soon 

Some of us losing it 

Some of us breaking down 

Some of us speaking out 

Used to it now 

Something I should tell you, 

But we are never alone 

There's something I should tell you, 

And I've been waiting so long 

When it's over with, going our separate ways 

How about you and me; 

Dinner for two
