  This ain’t no fooling around.

Remain in Light (1980)

• The world moves on a woman's hips
  The world moves and it swivels and bops
  The world moves on a woman's hips
  The world moves and it bounces and hops
  • The Great Curve

• Facts are simple and facts are straight
  Facts are lazy and facts are late
  Facts all come with points of view
  Facts don't do what I want them to
  • Crosseyed and Painless

• And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
  And you may find yourself in another part of the world
  And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
  And you may find yourself in a beautiful house ... with a beautiful wife
  And you may ask yourself, "Well ... how did I get here?"
  • Once in a Lifetime

• Same as it ever was.
  • Once in a Lifetime

  • This Must Be The Place

• I got plenty of time
  You got light in your eyes
  And you're standing here beside me
  I love the passing of time
  Never for money
  Always for love
  • This Must Be The Place

• I'm just an animal looking for a home
  Share the same space for a minute or two.
  • This Must Be The Place

• This is a perfect world
  I'm riding on an incline
  I'm staring in your face
  You'll photograph mine
  • Perfect World

• Baby, baby, please let me hold him
  I wanna make him stay up all night
  Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
  We wanna make him stay up all night
  • Stay Up Late

• Well, we know where we're going
  But we don't know where we've been
  And we know what we're knowing
  But we can't say what we've seen
  And we're not little children
  And we know what we want
  And the future is certain
  Give us time to work it out
  • Road to Nowhere

• There's a city in my mind
  Come along and take that ride
  And it's all right, baby, it's all right
  • Road to Nowhere

  Cars have run on gasoline
  Where, where have they gone?
  Now, it's nothing but flowers
  • (Nothing But) Flowers

• If this is paradise
  I wish I had a lawnmower
  • (Nothing But) Flowers

• This was a Pizza Hut
  Now it's all covered with daisies
  • (Nothing But) Flowers

• And as things fell apart
  Nobody paid much attention
  • (Nothing But) Flowers

• Don't leave me stranded here
  I can't get used to this lifestyle
  • (Nothing But) Flowers
