Lyrics She Only Sleeps - David Byrne

She Only Sleeps

She might dance all night in a topless bar
Fool around, go too far
But I don’t mind
You see, things are not what they appear
'Cause she only sleeps with me
She might drink a bit, lose her way
Crash the car but come out okay
And my friends might laugh
But they only know what they can see
And she only sleeps with me
Nights on Times Square
Live and on stage
High heels, she feels
That she’s dancin' for me
And the, the little bird
Flies from tree to tree
To the highest branch
Where she thinks she’s free
She can have it all
That’s the reason you wouldn’t believe
That she only sleeps with me
Well, there’s a porno book in the library
And nothin' ever goes were it shouldn’t be
And the world is queer
And the human is strangest of all
And she only sleeps
Yeah, she only sleeps
Yeah, she only sleeps with me
