Talking Heads | Lyrics | Crosseyed and Painless

Lost my shape, tryin' to act casual
Can't stop, I might end up in the hospital
Changin' my shape, I feel like an accident
They're back to explain their experience

Isn't it weird
Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away
That was their policy

I'm ready to leave, I push the facts in front of me
Facts lost, ya facts are never what they seem to me
There's nothing there, no information left of any kind
Lifting my head, looking for danger signs

There was a line, there was a formula
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us
There was a line, there was a formula
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us

I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting

The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside

The island of doubt, it's like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight, got the message from the oxygen
Making a list find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right facts are useful in emergencies

The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to

Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

Still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
