A Million Miles Away Lyrics by David Byrne

Uh-oh

0

[Verse 1]
I ain't gonna work here no more
I ain't gonna work here no more
Honey, come and dance with me
'Cause I ain't gonna work here no more
[Verse 2]
I feel like I'm walkin' on air
I feel like I'm walkin' on air
I can see your house from here
And I feel like I'm walkin' on air
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
You can't tell a man by his clothes
You can't tell a man by his clothes
A toad is a prince in someone's eyes
And you can't tell a man by his clothes
[Verse 4]
The stars gonna fall from the sky
The stars gonna fall from the sky
This time I think they've gone too far
And the stars gonna fall from the sky
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna be treated this way
[Bridge]
Some sunny day
I been waitin' so long
Gonna walk right on outa here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
[Intelrude]
[Verse 5]
We must have been out of our minds
We must have been out of our minds
Your own back side will let you down
And we must have been out of our minds
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
A million miles away from here
And we must have been out of our minds
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
