A Long Time Ago - David Byrne

And in the land where I grew up Into the bosom of technology

I kept my feelings to myself

Until the perfect moment comes

Then into your bloodstream I will go Until I turn into a part of you

Flooding the garden of delights

That was a long long time ago

That was a long long time ago

It’s not the ending of the world

It’s only the closing of a discotheque

I used to go three times a week

But that was a long long time ago

Yeah, that was a long long time ago

And that roaring that you hear

Is only the blood that circles constantly

No it is not applause my dear

No, that was a long long time ago

That was a long long time ago

Ooh, oh ooh

In between stations I can hear

A million possibilities

It’s only the singing of the stars

That burned out a long long time ago

They burned out a long long time ago

Ooh, oh ooh
