Like Humans Do Songtext
von David Byrne

For millions of years in millions of homes
A man loved a woman, a child then was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like humans do

I′m breathing in, I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh-oh-oh

The dishes in the sink
The TV′s in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs

I′m aching and I′m shaking and I'm breaking
Like humans do
I′m aching, I'm shaking, I′m breaking
Like humans do


I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead
I′m eating, I'm laughing, I'm lovin′ myself
I never watch TV except when I′m stoned
Like humans do

I'm breathing in, I′m breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh-oh-oh

The dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don′t look at the floor
And don't go up the stairs

I′m aching, I'm shaking, I'm breaking
Like humans do
Ooh, I′m aching, I′m shaking, I'm breaking
Like humans do
Ooh

I′m breathing in, I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh-oh-oh


Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pouring in
On a woman and a man

I′m aching, I'm shaking, I′m breaking
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
