Make Believe Mambo Lyrics

The song Make Believe Mambo is performed by David Byrne in the album named Rei Momo in the year 1989 .



It was a pretty picture
It almost made me cry
He's got big imagination
It's better than real life

He can be a macho man
And now he's a game show host well
One minute hilarious comedian
Now he's an undercover cop say

Oh let the poor boy dream
Oh livin' make me believe

So how can we be strangers
He's got no personality
It's just a clever imitation
Of the people on TV

A line for every situation
He's learnin' trivia and tricks
Havin' s*x and eatin' cereal
Wearin' jeans and smokin' cigarettes now

Oh let the poor boy dream
Oh livin' make me believe
Oh let the poor boy dream
Oh livin' make me believe

I can be you and you can be me
Everyone's happy and everyone's free
Here in my mundo where nothing is wrong
I'm a lady and you are a man

Oh let the poor boy dream
Oh livin' make me believe
Oh let the poor boy dream
Oh livin' make me believe
