Lifetime Piling Up Lyrics - Singles - Talking Heads

I have tried marijuana I get nervous every time 

There will come a knockin' at the door 

Why is everybody makin' eyes at me? 

I don't want to know 

Excuse and pardon me 

Stay for a while maybe we'll never meet again 

And I can see my lifetime piling up, I can see the days turn into nights 

I can see the people on the street open those windows up 

A hundred floors below me pilin' those houses up 

Pilin' them higher, higher, higher can feel them swayin' back and forth 

Building it higher, higher this tower's leaning over

I got bad coordination stuck a pencil in my eye 

I can hardly wait to get back home 

Why is everybody gettin' paranoid? 

I's only havin' fun 

Scum bags and superstars tell me your names 

I'll make a bet, you're both the same 

I can see my lifetime pilin' up reaching from my bedroom to the stars 

I can see the house where I was born 

When I was growin' up they say that I could never keep my trousers up 

I remember days and crazy nights, are there any pirates on this ship? 

And if they sober up they? ll have us home by morning 

Cry, cry, cry it's just you and I 

Like an automobile with no one at the wheel 

Spinning out of control we're all over the road 

In our sexy machine oh, all the passengers scream 

Scream, scream 

Photos 

I can see my lifetime pilin' up, I can see it smashin' into yours 

It was not an accident at all open your window up I hear you laughin' 

Going one two three four five goin' from the bottom to the top 

Maybe I'm holding on too tight and now I'm throwin' up 

I got a funny feeling pilin' them houses up, pilin' them higher, higher, higher 

Building that highway to the stars turning the music up 

Hey I got a winning number
