Brian Eno & David Byrne

A truck parked this morning- outside the grocry store
Friends face the future- theyre wearin summer clothes
Great cosmic forces- like fallin dominoes
I love talking funny- its the only song I know
Sweet smart and sexy- the day my life began
Burnt out and damaged- I dragged my body home
This slice is runny- its dripping down my clothes
Flies stick to honey- its the only game they know
[Chant 1:]
Poor Boy-I walk into the river in my hat and shoes
Poor Boy-Im sittin at the table with a knife and spoon
Life fast die happy- dont let your panties show
I trust market forces- its the only song I know
[Bridge:]
So come and rock my soul- where sin and sorry lie
White horses carry me- unto the other side
[Chant 2:]
Poor Boy-Im livin in a country where my thoughts are cold
Poor Boy-Im waitin for the harvest of the seeds I sow
[Bridge 2:]
A flower in the night- with thoughts of days gone
Ive got to ring that bell- and Ill be satisfied
[Chant 3:]
Poor Boy- Im wearin silver slippers and a long white gown
Poor boy- I picture un my mind the day the walls come down
[Chant 4:]
Poor Boy- Im livn in a country where Im never free
Poor Boy- Im writing down the names of all the things I see
[ Poor Boy Lyrics ]
