Civilization - David Byrne
Written by：Stephen Barber

Somewhere between the darkness and light

Faces all glow but its not too bright

Civilization its all about knives and forks

Isn't she here what time is it now

Is this the right place do I fit with her crowd

I'm gonna be a civilized man someday

Part of me wants to jump and shout

Part of me wants to tear it down
I thought you might prefer the cabernet

Civilization its all about sex

Havin' a ball in a padded banquet

I'm gonna be that really cool guy someday

The waiter looks me over
Would you like cream or sugar
I don't know what was I supposed to say

She wonders if I'll notice
I should have brought some roses
Her plate is full she hasn't eaten all day

Glasses collect we order some booze

She looks at me I stare at her shoes
Mature situations maybe a broken heart

Maybe I ought to pay the bill
Maybe she thinks I never will

A million things that cross a woman's mind

Just be yourself well that's what they say

I barely know who I was yesterday

I'm gonna be that civilized guy someday

Good friends and conversations
The rise and fall of nations
A moments glory and they've had their day

And on my high school folder
I drew a big gorilla
Something familiar something far far away

Somewhere between the darkness and light

She touches my hand she don't seem to mind

We can go home we can be civilized
