Let's go suboceana
To the place where fish sleep
Down, deep, down under
And rock with the Dream King

He says

Trust me, just trust me
I live in your mind
I'll be your dream master
All of us know this
We're going inside
This is your life after

Boom boom chi boom boom
Boom boom chi boom boom
Boom boom chi boom boom
Boom boom chi boom boom

Put your face in my hands now
As the water washes us down
The pressure of your body solid
Making love without a sound

We see

White sheets of light
That prickle the skin
Colors extend
Moving out from within
If this is creation
Let's do it again

Let's stay down under
Way, way, way, down deep

Boom boom chi boom boom
Boom boom chi boom boom
Boom boom chi boom boom
Boom boom chi boom boom

Generations in a picture
Lay their heads down to sleep
Forgetting sin to remember
Way, way, way, down deep

They say

We are your future
From out of your past
We'll be here tomorrow
Pick up the pieces
As fragile as glass
We will hear your sorrow
Babies are born
They accept the bizarre
Moving beyond
Beyond life in a jar

Let's stay down under
Way, way, way, down deep.

Pretty much includes everything that annoys me about the Talking Heads with the added bonus of even worse vocals.

Wow really polarized comments on this song! I'm putting myself in the "like" category. btw TTC were are (they're touring now!) a great live show.

Chorus sounds like a muppets tune...

And that's NOT a good thing...

Interesting....kinda hypnotic.

Yeh, nice. I mean I like David Byrne, but he\'s like your cousin you see once a year but he\'s still too much in your face. This I could live with around the house for a while, after all, the world does move on a woman\'s hips.

Funky! Fun!

A very Talking Heads like sound, although I guess that shouldn\'t be too surprising.

I agree with Slaid- great groove!

I won the twelve inch version of this from a college radio station when I was in high school. I\'m still waiting for them to send it to me... :( Oh well, at least I can hear it here.

grows on you, i like it.

Wouldn\'t the Talking Heads have been even better with less David Byrne (or with David Byrne taking himself less seriously) and more Weymouth sisters? Oh, wait, that would be the Tom Tom Club. Saw \'em live in NY twenty (!) years ago, as part of a Talking Heads show, but I\'d never heard the live recording of this song. Eclectic & intelligent indeed....

I was about to make a comment but, after all, what are words worth?! :D

i was going to say something much worse, but i will just keep my mouth shut and mind open instead... that's what makes RP rock so much - a little bit of everything
