the moment of conception
Singer:david byrne
at the moment of conception
i could see someone approaching
will you be my disco dancer?
i could use a little coaching
will you be my secret lover?
i was born without a conscience
from the mountains to the beaches
will you be this wild child's lady?
will you carry me to safety?
lock me up & take me home
it's not where i wanna be
i behave without compassion
i see things i want to smash them
when i put our love in danger & treat you like a total stranger
i don't really want to hurt you
i would stop it if i could do
blame my school & blame my parents
& the genes that i inherit
blame it on my older sister for showing me her dirty pictures
blame the tv & the movies
blame the lawyers & the juries
lock me up & take me home
it's not where i wanna be
