And She Was
Talking Heads Lyrics

And she was lying in the grass
She was lying in the grass

And she could hear the highway breathing
She could hear the highway from where she was lying

And she could see a nearby factory
She could see a factory that was close by

She's making sure she is not dreaming
She wants to make sure that what she is experiencing is real, not a dream

See the lights of a neighbor's house
She sees the lights of her neighbor's house

Now she's starting to rise
She starts to rise up

Take a minute to concentrate
She takes some time to concentrate

And she opens up her eyes
She opens her eyes

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
She feels as though she is in sync with the world

The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
She feels as though she is floating above the world

And she was
She simply existed

And she was drifting through the backyard
She floated around in the backyard

And she was taking off her dress
She took off her dress while floating around

And she was moving very slowly
She floated around at a slow pace

Rising up above the earth
She was floating higher and higher above the ground

Moving into the universe and she's
She started moving into the universe

Drifting this way and that
She floated around in different directions

Not touching the ground at all and she's
She didn't touch the ground at all

Up above the yard
She was floating high above the yard

She was proud about it, no doubt about it
She felt proud of what she was doing and had no doubts about it

She isn't sure about what she's done
She isn't sure what she has accomplished

No time to think about what to tell him
She doesn't have time to think about what to say to someone

No time to think about what she's done and she was
She didn't have time to reflect on her actions

And she was looking at herself
She was observing herself

And things were looking like a movie
Things seemed surreal, like a movie

She had a pleasant elevation
She felt good about being elevated

She's moving out in all directions oh, oh oh
She started floating in all directions

Joining the world of missing persons and she was
She became a missing person herself

Missing enough to feel all right and she was
She is okay with being missing

And she was
She simply existed

And she was
She simply existed

And she was
She simply existed

And she was
She simply existed

And she was
She simply existed

Hey!
An exclamation of excitement

And she was!
Additional excitement about her existence

And she was
She simply existed

And she was!
Excitement about her existence

And she was
She simply existed
