Lyrics The Cowboy Mambo (Hey Look at Me Now) - David Byrne

The Cowboy Mambo (Hey Look at Me Now)

And I can’t find my way around your face,
And I can’t find my way around your body,
And wasted days turn into wasted nights.
But hey look at me now,
Hey look at me now,
Hey look at me nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at me now!
Hey look at me now (ooh!)
Hey look at me now
Hey look at me nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at me now,
The future is the bright one you imagine,
Everything you value has been sold,
And every heart that takes a chance is broken,
(now,) I don’t see you laughing at us no more,
Hey look at ya now,
Hey look at ya nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at ya now!
Hey look at ya now (ooh!)
Hey look at ya now
Hey look at ya nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at ya now,
Green grass grows around the backyard sh**thouse,
And that is where the sweetest flowers bloom,
Now we are flowers growing in god’s garden,
And that is why he spreads the sh**t around,
But hey look at us now,
Hey look at us now,
Hey look at us nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at us now!
Hey look at us now (woo hoo!)
Hey look at us now
Hey look at us nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at us now,
Hey look at me now,
Hey look at me now,
Hey look at me nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh look at me now!
Hey look at me now (ooh!)
Hey look at me now
Hey look at me nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuuh,
Hey hey heeey!
