And She Was (Live) Lyrics by Caetano Veloso, David Byrne

Live At Carnegie Hall

2012

[Verse 1]
\nAnd she was lying in the grass
\nAnd she could hear the highway breathing
\nAnd she could see a nearby factory
\nShe's making sure she is not dreaming
\n
\nSee the lights of a neighbor's house
\nNow she's starting to rise
\nTake a minute to concentrate
\nAnd she opens up her eyes
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThe world was moving, she was right there with it
\nAnd she was
\nThe world was moving, she was floating above it
\nAnd she was
\nAnd she was
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nAnd she was drifting through the backyard
\nAnd she was taking off her dress
\nAnd she was moving very slowly
\nRising up above the earth
\n
\nMoving into the universe
\nDrifting this way and that
\nNot touching the ground at all
\nYeah, she's up above the yard
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThe world was moving, she was right there with it
\nAnd she was
\nThe world was moving, she was floating above it
\nAnd she was, yeah
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nShe was glad about it, no doubt about it
\nNo time to think about what she's done
\nNo time to think about what to tell them
\nNo time to think about when she's gone
\nAnd she was
\n
\nHey, hey, hey, hey
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nAnd she was looking at herself
\nAnd things were looking like a movie
\nShe had a pleasant elevation
\nShe's moving out in all directions, hey, hey, hey
\n
\nHey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
\nHey, hey, hey, hey, hey
\nHey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
\nHey, hey, hey, hey, hey
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThe world was moving, she was right there with it
\nAnd she was
\nThe world was moving, she was floating above it
\nAnd she was
\nJoining the world of missing persons
\nAnd she was
\nMissing enough to feel alright
\nAnd she was, yeah
\n
\n[Outro]
\nAnd she was
\nAnd she was
\nAnd she was
\nAnd she was
\nAnd she was
\n
\nThank you
\nI'm supposed to have things to say later\n\n
