Talking Heads - Mommy, Daddy, You And I Lyrics
All the way home from BaltimoreWe couldn't find a seatConductor says he's sorry forThe blisters on our feetComes a-riding in a busThe high and the lowMommy, daddy, you and IGoing on a tripAnd we're not going homeMommy, daddy, you and IDriving, keep drivingDriving, driving all nightSleeping on my daddy's shoulderDrinking from a paper cupAnd I'm wearing my grandfather's clothesAnd they say that up North it gets coldCrawling out of bed one nightWalking in my sleepWe're not the only familyTo take this little tripDriving all the way upIt's 30 belowMommy, daddy, you and IEven little kidsGetting ready to goMommy, daddy,you and IChilly, Chilly-WillyIt's colder the further we goSome are born to take advantageBut saying it don't make it soSo hold me and don't let me go'Cause the sidewalks are covered with snowHe's speaking English nowAnd he's smoothing out his clothesHe's Mr. Button DownHe's leaving homeMaking changes day by dayAnd we still ain't got no planHow we gonna make our wayIn this foreign land?Well we'll keep driving, keep drivingDriving with all of our mightChanging, still changingChanging the water of lifeKeep that little man a shiningSee how the tail can wag the dogAnd we're all riding in this old busAnd the driver is singing to usAnd we're wearing out grandfather's clothes'Cause we heard that up North it gets cold
