How Are You? David Byrne

How are you? I’m learning English
You’re looking good, it’s so hot today
We should keep in touch, oh you’d better be going
It’s a long long way to your uncle’s place

I got a job, it’s just okay
But how’s your dad? It’s hard to say
I miss you all, it’s been so long
And who can say where love has gone?

And your life is just beginning
And my life is almost through
I’ve given up, never finished school
There was too much, too much work to do

How are you? Shall we get a soda?
You’re looking good, it’s so hot today
We should keep in touch, oh you’d better be going
It’s a long long way to your uncle’s place

I was right there, right with your mother
And her last words ’fore she passed away
Did they tell you about the promise?
Should I ask you? Tell me what’d they say?

And there’s no way that you could help me
And you’re barely better off than I
You’re a beauty, sing like an angel
We’re together for both our lives
