His Wife Refused
David Byrne
A great big house with nothing in it
He comes home, says, "Now wait a minute"
He's comin' in, she's goin' out
He turns around says, "What's that about?"
Do what they like, the kid's in school
Think she don't know, now, who's kidding who?
He turns around says, "Who wants to know?"
Open the door and there's nobody home
Go ahead fill their heads
Go ahead fill their heads with poison
Take a look these people are savages
Take a look at their misfortune
I'm goin' up I got a message
I'm gonna wait till I close the door
I'm gonna wrap, myself in blankets
I'm gonna, roll out, across the floor
Well the bride, bride and the groom
Run in a circle around their house
They're goin' out they're comin' in
Inside a circle around their house
These shoes don't fit this tie don't match
I'm gonna throw it away when I get home
I'm turned around I'm doin' my best
I'm gonna wait until the light comes on
Yes, he's the king and she's the queen
Run in a circle around their house
Open the door and let them in
Inside a circle around their house
