And She Was
Composer(s): David Byrne
First release by: Talking Heads - 1985



And she was lying in the grass 
And she could hear the highway breathing 
And she could see a nearby factory 
She's making sure she is not dreaming 
See the lights of a neighbor's house 
Now she's starting to rise 
Take a minute to concentrate 
And she opens up her eyes 

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) 
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was 

And she was drifting through the backyard 
And she was taking off her dress 
And she was moving very slowly 
Rising up above the earth 
Moving into the universe 
Drifting this way and that 
Not touching ground at all 
Up above the yard 

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) 
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was 

She was glad about it... no doubt about it 
She isn't sure where she's gone 
No time to think about what to tell them 
No time to think about what she's done 
And she was 

And she was looking at herself 
And things were looking like a movie 
She had a pleasant elevation 
She's moving out in all directions 

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) 
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
