"She Explains Things To Me" lyrics
David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra Lyrics
She explains what is happening in the movies we watch
I ask, "Why did they do that? Why did they stop?"
Why did they say that on that TV show?
And I ask myself, "Wow, how did she know?"
She explains what a character really meant
What was their motive? What was their intent?
She explains the things that we're supposed to infer, well
How come it's all so obvious to her?
How did she know that? How did she see?
Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?
Can you explain, my heart? Explain, my love?
Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does
She explains to me what a poem is about
Not what you think, you have to figure it out
She tells me that folks don't always mean what they say
You can tell what they're thinking by the look on their face, now
How did she know that? How did she see?
Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?
Can you explain, my heart? Explain, my love?
Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does
I ask, "Why did they do that? Why did they stop?"
Why did they say that on that TV show?
And I ask myself, "Wow, how did she know?"
She explains what a character really meant
What was their motive? What was their intent?
She explains the things that we're supposed to infer, well
How come it's all so obvious to her?
How did she know that? How did she see?
Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?
Can you explain, my heart? Explain, my love?
Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does
She explains to me what a poem is about
Not what you think, you have to figure it out
She tells me that folks don't always mean what they say
You can tell what they're thinking by the look on their face, now
How did she know that? How did she see?
Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?
Can you explain, my heart? Explain, my love?
Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does
