I think Remain In Light is my favorite full Talking Heads album. This is the crazy amazing lead track. There is so much going on in this song that you have to listen to it a few times to hear everything. I love that challenge. I think the lyrics are about a man who doesn't know how to make sense of his life, so he gets a job working for the government. But the insanity of the wide world is still calling to him to join it.
"I'm not a drowning man
And I'm not a burning building! I'm a tumbler
Drowning cannot hurt a man
Fire cannot hurt a man, not the government man"
Here's the original album version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilcD1fHcGB0
This live performance is awesome! Watching petite Tina play that large bass LIKE A BOSS is a treat!
