《Civilization》歌词

[00:00:00] Civilization - David Byrne

[00:00:00] Written by：Stephen Barber

[00:00:12] Somewhere between the darkness and light

[00:00:16] Faces all glow but its not too bright

[00:00:21] Civilization its all about knives and forks

[00:00:28] Isn't she here what time is it now

[00:00:32] Is this the right place do I fit with her crowd

[00:00:37] I'm gonna be a civilized man someday

[00:00:46] Part of me wants to jump and shout

[00:00:50] Part of me wants to tear it down

[00:00:55] I thought you might prefer the cabernet

[00:01:02] Civilization its all about sex

[00:01:06] Havin' a ball in a padded banquet

[00:01:11] I'm gonna be that really cool guy someday

[00:01:21] The waiter looks me over

[00:01:23] Would you like cream or sugar

[00:01:25] I don't know what was I supposed to say

[00:01:30] She wonders if I'll notice

[00:01:32] I should have brought some roses

[00:01:34] Her plate is full she hasn't eaten all day

[00:01:41] Glasses collect we order some booze

[00:01:45] She looks at me I stare at her shoes

[00:01:50] Mature situations maybe a broken heart

[00:01:59] Maybe I ought to pay the bill

[00:02:03] Maybe she thinks I never will

[00:02:08] A million things that cross a woman's mind

[00:02:15] Just be yourself well that's what they say

[00:02:19] I barely know who I was yesterday

[00:02:24] I'm gonna be that civilized guy someday

[00:02:34] Good friends and conversations

[00:02:36] The rise and fall of nations

[00:02:38] A moments glory and they've had their day

[00:02:43] And on my high school folder

[00:02:45] I drew a big gorilla

[00:02:47] Something familiar something far far away

[00:02:54] Somewhere between the darkness and light

[00:02:58] She touches my hand she don't seem to mind

[00:03:03] We can go home we can be civilized
