Talking Heads - Pull Up The Roots lyrics

Your rating:
Yes indeed my friend
     I can tell
     Goin' get together again
     I could be right
     I could b ewrong
     I feel nice when I sing this song
     And I don't mind
     Whatever happens is fine

Baby likes to keep on playing . . .
     What do I know, what do I know?
Wilder than the place we live in . . .
     I'll take you there, I'll take you there
I don't mind some slight disorder . . .
     Pull up the roots pull up the roots
And I know ev'ry living creature . .
     Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

     And I know you
     I understand what you do
     Yes, indeed
     I put the hat on my head
     Come outa your mess
     Bring yourself in
     I feel nice when I start to sing
     And I can see
     Ev'ryone else is like me

Towns that dissapeared completely . . .
     Pull up the roost, pull up the roots
Miles and miles of endless highway . . .
     Pull up the roost, pull up the roots
Colored lights and shiney curtains . . .
     I'll take you there, I'll take you there
Ev'rything has been forgiven . . .
     Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

     Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind
     And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there
     And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground
     Gonna take us a while . . . but we'll go hundreds of times

Baby likes to keep on playing . . .
     What d'you know?  what d'you I know?
Wilder than the place we live in . . .
     I'll take you there, I'll take you there
And I don't mind some slight disorder . . .
     Pull up the roots pull up the roots
And no more time for talkin' it over . . .
     Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

     Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind
     And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there
     And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground
     Someone musta been high . . . but I guess it's alright
