David Byrne & Brian Eno Life Is Long lyrics

Everybody says that the living is easy
I can barely see 'cause my head's in the way
Tigers walk behind me, they are to remind me
That I'm lost but I'm not afraid

Soul to soul, a kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half by the passage of time
Halfway home from a window you see
Chains and bars but I am still free

People on the outside, I remember sweet times
This old rose is always in bloom
Everybody's happy to be a baby daddy
Stone love with nothing to lose

Life is long if you give it away

So stay, don't go 'cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul between you and me
Chain me down but I am still free

Now I can say those three little words
And everyday I'm dreaming a world
Soul to soul, a kiss and a sigh
Holding back the waters outside

Life is long if you give it away
So stay, don't go 'cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul between you and me
Chain me down but I am still free
