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
