David Byrne & Brian Eno

Strange Overtones
I wake up every morning I hear your feet on the stairs You're in the next apartment I hear you singing over there-- This groove is out of fashion These beats are 20 years old I saw you lend a hand to The ones out standing in the cold-- Strange Overtones In the music you are playing I'll harmonize It is strong and you are tough But a heart is not enough- Put on your socks and mittens It's getting colder tonight A snowball in my kitchen I watched it melt before my eyes-- Your song still needs a chorus I know you'll figure it out The rising of the verses A change of key will let you out-- Songtexte Strange overtones Though they're slightly out of fashion I'll harmonize I see the music in your face That your words cannot explain Strange Overtones In the music you are playing We're not alone It is strong and you are tough But a heart is not enough-- Aus Songtexte Mania
