"Strange Overtones" lyrics
"Strange Overtones"
(originally by David Byrne)
I wake up every morning
I hear your feet on the stairs
You're in the next apartment
I hear you singin' over there
This groove is out of fashion
These beats are twenty years old
I saw you lend a hand to
The ones out standing in the cold
Strange overtones in the music you are playin'
I'll harmonize, it is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
How long have I been missin'?
It's getting colder tonight
The snowfall's reminiscin'
I've watched it melt before my eyes
Your song still needs a chorus
I know you'll figure it out
The rising of the verses
A change of key will let you out
Strange overtones in the music you are playin'
I'll harmonize, it is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
Strange overtones in the music you are playin'
We're not alone, it is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
