Gasoline and Dirty Sheets - David Byrne

Someone in a dangerous place

Someone got lost somewhere

Many people are locked outside

Many people lost out there

Many people they can’t get in

Many people they pay no mind

Many people they leave this place

And many people are freed of time

Well now this man he could be king

This woman she’s the royalty

This woman she’s brave and strong

She’s got no name but she is family

Gasoline and dirty sheets

Politics and painted face

She says that freedom costs too much

She says the mind is not place

This situation drags me down

They form a country in my house

On the stage and in the street

I will be a human being

I will come down off the stage

The marketplace and the shopping mall

Into the house, the rooms of war

Look at me now and recall

Vacuum-packed don’t rock my world

And the money back guarantee don’t make my day

And no feeling of security

They say the answer’s one click away

Gasoline and dirty sheets

Politics and a painted face

She says that freedom costs too much

She says the mind is not place

Gasoline and dirty sheets

Politics and a painted face

She says that freedom costs too much

She says the mind is not place
