Talking Heads - The Overload Lyrics

Talking Heads Lyrics

"The Overload"

A terrible signal
Too weak to even recognize
A gentle collapsing
The removal of the insides

I'm touched by your pleas
I value these moments
We're older than we realize
...in someone's eyes

A frequent returning
And leaving unnoticed
A condition of mercy
A change in the weather

A view to remember
The center is missing
They question how the future lies
...in someone's eyes

The gentle collapsing
Of every surface
We travel on the quiet road
...the overload
