Lyrics David Byrne

David Byrne

The Rose Tattoo

And they were imagining Roses

As if life itself were a dream

Is a gift not a reason for living?

Not enough, not enough, so it seems

Lost in the Stars

Venus and mars

And I'm in heaven again

I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

If all of the dead are now living

And all of the living will die

Buying their tickets and changing their trains

Into the city and back home again

I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

Brinde a la Rosa

why al hombre que no vive

Perdido en un sueño

en un atmosfera imposible

Una Rosa, sueño imposible una Rosa, sueño imposible

No queda nada

Solo la lluvia irresistible

Tatuaje de la Rosa, pero el hombre es invisible

Una Rosa, sueno imposible

Una Rosa, no queda na

Now I haven't seen you for ages

Come in, come out of the rain

Open the doorway and climb up the stairs

This is the bedroom where we said our prayers

I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

The singer's playin' "Fly Me to the Moon"

And I'm in heaven again

Brinde a la Rosa

why al hombre que no vive

Perdido en un sueno

en un atmosfera imposible

Una Rosa, sueño imposible una Rosa, sueño imposible

No queda nada

Solo la lluvia irresistible

Tatuaje de la Rosa, pero el hombre is invisible

Una Rosa, sueño imposible

Una Rosa, no queda na

I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

Long live the King

Nothing remains

Only a Rose Tattoo
