David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra - Everybody Laughs Lyrics

David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra Lyrics

"Everybody Laughs"

Everybody laughs and everybody cries
Everybody lives and everybody dies
Everybody eats and everybody loves
Everybody knows what everybody does

Everybody's going through the changes
Every complication
What you say with gesture and expression
In my imagination

Every mobile phone in every restaurant
Everyone we know, and everything you want

Everybody wonders what ya gonna do
Everything is closer, everything is true
Everybody's startin' everything again
Everybody's outside, now they're comin' in

Everybody's goin' through the garbage
Lookin' for inspiration
Some will find it starin' at the ceiling
Of the subway station

Everyone you love in every kind of way
Everything you know in every single face
Every change of heart and every saving grace
Every song we sing in every kind of place

Everybody looks and everybody sees
Everybody's askin' everybody please
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Everybody's goin' everywhere at once
Everybody's backside, everybody's front
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Everybody dances, everybody stops
Everybody wants what everybody's got
Everybody wonders what ya gonna do
Everybody's wearing everybody's shoes
