Optimist - David Byrne, St. Vincent

Waiting, but I don’t mind

I’m all bus stops and heat

I’m neon in your daylight

I’m the optimist of 30th Street

How it is is how it oughta be

I got anything but moneyed esteem

Drinks on Condè Nast

I’m the optimist of 30th Street

How it is is how it oughta be

I spy Vivian Girls on the Up, Upper East

There’s no reason to be upset

There’s no reason to not expect

There’s no room for emptiness

No tea no sympathy

No room for emptiness

On a never empty street
