Talking Heads Girlfriend Is Better (Live) lyrics

I, who took the money?
Who took the money away?
And, I, it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
O U T but no hard feelings
What do you know? Take you away
We're being taken for a ride, again

I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's movin' up, going right through my heart
She's gonna give me surprise
Better than this, know that it's right
I think you can if you like
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that, is it?

Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
And I, I'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, what started it over?
Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible, it seems


Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get, closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She goes wherever she likes.
(There she goes)

(I got a girlfriend that's better than that)
Now everyone's gettin' involved
(As we get older and stop making sense)
You won't find her waitin' long
(Stop making sense, stop making sense)
(Stop making sense, making sense)
Ha ah ah ah
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better than this
(Is it?)
