The Heart's a Lonely Hunter Lyrics

The song The Heart's a Lonely Hunter is performed by David Byrne .



The truth is unspoken, a promise is broken
I'm under surveillance, they know what my name is
I need some protection, some love and affection
There's 1000 reasons but one is the number

Welcome to my spaceship
It's beautiful forever
Well, she's right here where you left her
And the heart's a lonely hunter

Save bottles of water and flour and sugar
Turn off the AC and hang up the bed sheets
Cover the windows, careful when the light goes
Yank out the cable and blow out the candles

Welcome to my spaceship
You're beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's a lonely hunter

Perfectly molded, almost unfolded
Under the counter well, that is your nature
Drip grind or roasted, buttered or toasted
The greater the DB's the higher the AC

Psycho acoustics down in the black seats
Stereo nation, amplification
The brave and the righteous, they're safe in their houses
Now one is just a number, the heart's a lonely hunter
One is a number, heart is a hunter
One is a number and heart is a hunter

Welcome to my spaceship
You're beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's a lonely hunter

Welcome to my spaceship
You're beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's a lonely hunter





The Heart's a Lonely Hunter
