Текст песни St. Vincent feat David Byrne - Dinner for Two (Love This Giant 2012)

Dinner For Two Lyrics[Verse 1 - David Byrne]
By the time the guests arrive
Ooh, already it was dark outside
Tables set with china dishes
We're welcomed in with tiny kisses
What's her name?; I don't remember
Isn't that the famous author?
Harry's gonna get some appetizers
Well, he's keeping out of range of small arms fire
Dina has a phone; she says it's working
Now she's crawling on the floor, across the kitchen
[Hook - David Byrne & St. Vincent]
Something I should tell you
But we are never alone

[Verse 2 - David Byrne]
Tanks outside the bedroom window
We'll be okay with the curtain closed
The guests are fine behind the sofa
It's much too late, they should not go home

[Hook - David Byrne & St. Vincent]
Something I should tell you
But we are never alone

[Verse 3: David Byrne]
Up by dawn, already morning
I ask myself what is going on
Some tender words and sidelong glances
Are you okay, have you lived here long?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Underneath the stairway
Somebody's changing her clothes
Sweatpants and a t-shirt
Silk dresses cover the floor
[Verse 5 - Byrne & St. Vincent]
Sit down by my side
Take my overcoat
When will we get out?
Maybe a week or soon
Some of us losing it
Some of us breaking down
Some of us stick it out
Used to it now

[Instrumental]

[Hook]
Something I should tell you
But we are never alone
There's something I should tell you
And I've been waiting so long

[Outro]
When it's over with, going our separate ways
How about you and me;
Dinner for two
