David Byrne 
Lyrics for Song: Untitled Track 
Lyrics for Album: Feelings [1997]
  
               
  34681>This is not a David Byrne song,
  it is a Captain Beefheart song titled 'Well'.
  David Byrne had performed it live
 
 
  Light floats down day river on uh red raft o' blood
  Night blocks out d' heaven like uh big black shiny bug
  Its hard soft shell shinin' white in one spot well
  It's hard place dat I'm livin' but I'm doin' well well
  The white ice horse melted like uh spot uh silver well
  Its mane went last then disappeared the tail
  My life ran thru my veins
  Whistlin' hollow well
  I froze in solid motion well well
  I heard the ocean swarmin' body well well
  I heard the beetle clickin' well
  I sensed the thickest silence scream
 
 
  Then I begin t' dream
  My mind cracked like custard
  Ran red until it sealed
  Turn t' wooden 'n rolled like uh wheel well well
  Thick black felt birds uh flyin'
  With capes of solid chrome
  With feathers of solid chrome
  'n beaks of solid bone
  'n bleach the air around them
  White 'n cold well well
  Till it showed in pain
  The hollow cane clicked like ever after
  Its shadow vanished shinin' silence
  Well well
