David Byrne - Everything That Happens Lyrics

I ride on a perfect freeway
Many people on that road
I heard the sound of someone laughing
I saw my neighbors car explode

Just up ahead
Against the sky
Quicker than you blink your eye

[Chorus: ]
Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
And among the living, we are giving, all through the night

From the milk of human kindness
From the breast we all partake
Hungry for a social contract
She welcomes you with dark embrace

(puts) socks and shoes
Upon our feet
Little fishes swim upstream

Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright?
In the deepest silence, gold and diamonds, all through the night

Everything that happens will happen today
& nothing has changed, but nothing's the same
And ev'ry tomorrow could be yesterday
&and ev'rything that happens will happen today

Ev'rything that happens will happen today
And nothing has changed but nothing's the same
& ev'ry tomorrow could be yesterday
And ev'rything that happens could happen today
