The Book I Read - Live / Burlington, Vermont / 1983 lyrics
by David Byrne
I’m writing about the book I read
I have to sing about the book I read
I’m embarrassed to admit it
Hit the soft spot in my heart when
I found out you wrote the book I read so
Take my shoulders as they touch your arms
I’m spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Mmhh-Ohhhoo-Ohhhoo
Oooohh I’m living in the future
I feel wonderful
I’m tipping over backwards
I’m so ambitious
I’m looking back and i’m
Running a race and your the book I read so
Feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I’m spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Mmhh-Ohhhoo-Ohhhoo
Ooooohh

Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah

Mmhh-Ohhhoo-Ohhhoo
Oooohh I’m living in the future
I feel wonderful
I’m tipping over backwards
I’m so ambitious
I’m looking back and i’m
Running a race and your the book I read so
Feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I’m spinning around and I feel alright
Thе book I read was in your eyes
Mmhh-Ohhhoo-Ohhhoo
