Twistin' In The Wind Lyrics - David Byrne

Now Washington, DC's 

A funny little town 

The further you look into it 

The further things stick out 

You oughta be ashamed 

You oughta be destroyed 

I'll chop you into little bits 

And feed you to my dogs 

Well well well well well 

What have we got here? 

What have we got now? 

Hey hey hey hey hey 

Twistin' in the wind 

Twistin' all night long

Now can you picture this? 

A taste of what will be 

The weatherman is wrong again 

It looks like rain to me 

I heard the whistle blow 

The train has jumped the track 

The mighty engine's outa gas 

Bureaucratic heart attack 

My sister likes the boys 

They kinda like her, too 

My mama says, "Be careful" 

Sister says, "Now, that ain't cool" 

My daddy fell in love 

Down at the factory 

And me, I like to sit around 

Get high, and watch TV 

Photos 

Well well well well well 

What have we got here? 

What have we got now? 

Hey hey hey hey hey 

Twistin' in the wind 

Twistin' all night long 

Now I can take a joke 

I'm laughin' at myself 

I faked my way through college 

And I faked my way through sex 

I've been falling down too long 

I've been bangin' up my head 

And if I could stay on my feet 

I'd prob'ly go right back again 

Now Harry's got a gun 

And he just turned fourteen 

He dresses like a gangster 

And he's livin' on the street 

They kicked him in the balls 

They shaved off all his hair 

They put a current through his head 

And left him lyin' there 

Well well well well well 

What have we got here? 

What have we got now? 

Hey hey hey hey hey 

Twistin' in the wind 

Twistin' all night long 

They say that crime don't pay 

The judge does not agree 

'Cause if you got the money 

He will surely set you free 

I'll watch you burn in hell 

I'll see you in your grave 

I'd like to watch you suffer for 

The evil that you made 

Hi-dee hi-dee ho 

What a funny clown 

The fat man he fell off the wall 

And he can't get up again 

It's time to say goodbye 

It's time to say goodnight 

Whoever is the last one out 

Well, please turn out the light
