David Byrne - Every Day Is A Miracle Lyrics
The rose is pruned to a perfect shape
Perfect for whom, I wonder
The chicken thinks in mysterious ways
But beauty is not what we're after
Full of roosters and plenty of corn
And God is a very old rooster
And eggs are like Jesus, his son
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
Cockroach might eat Mona Lisa
And elephants don't read newspapers
And the kiss of a chicken is hot
The brain of a chicken
And the dick of a donkey
A pig in a blanket
And that's why you want me
What does it feel like
To be your tongue
Moving around in your mouth
To be free in the forest of your love
A cockroach in the cosmos of your house
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
I'm a blond, a brunette and a redhead
I thought up the birds and the bees
My software is famous all over
My money is growing on trees
The mind is a soft boiled potato
A jewel in a chocolate shell
I staple my love to your heart dear
With memories and beautiful smells
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
Every day is miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another

David Byrne Every Day Is A Miracle Comments
Disjointed ungrateful mechanistic materialistic lyric . Smells of rotting fish and permanent pessimism .
Indeed, everyday is a type of miracle
This sucks! If a no name artist had put this out everyone would hate it. Sorry, but when I heard this on the radio I couldn't believe this trash. Not saying all of his stuff is bad, but this is one.... Just horrible. ☹️
I love this its a complete utter somthing...i lovit!
all these big sound/grove changes , just snuck in like a master song writer ~
It was the yodelling in the 1st set of live shows that really sets David as a fantastic singer. I think you should make a live album with those fantastic drums. Of course Angie and Bobbie and karl are brill aswell!
"And that is why you want me??" Thanks for sharing!
"the chicken thinks in mysterious ways" is wonderful! Thank you so much Mr. David Byrne, a real genius! :-D
I'd love to see David Byrne in Concert. Maybe in Cleveland OH - 7h 45 min drive. Sadly the only tickets I can find are from Ticketmaster. I refuse to pay them $25 in fees for a ticket that I can store in my phone's memory. So long David, break a leg!
Thank God they're still writing.
Byrning down the house, again
"the pope don't mean shit to a dog"! - best lyric ever XD
Another beautiful gem ! Lets love one another !
And the dick of a donkey 😂
Can't wait to see him when in Durham. They can all come to my house. Small, Cluttered, but still welcome. Small world it is.
David Byrne rocks! Fond memories of Dave, Wendy,Laura and Michael in Arbutus...
😻😺😸😽
Catch his new tour, American Utopia! Fantastic!!!
Great tune. love it
It's great but I don't think "he" will understand it.
I love Every Day is a Miracle! David, you have pulled me up out of the depths of depression so many times over the past 30 years or so! I am only bummed that I can't afford the tickets to see you at Red Rocks this summer. We were able to go last time you were there and, as ever, you were wonderful--rolling around the stage in a chair wearing at tutu!! You are the best!!
' you've got to SING or you suffer !
your tongue moving around in your mouth
Eat everyone ! '
and the kiss of a chicken is hard
so i staple my love to your heart dear
With mayonaise and beautiful smells
(did i hear this ? )
Sing for your supper and memories not mayo lol😂
[Verse 1]
The rose is pruned to a perfect shape
Perfect for whom, I wonder
The chicken thinks in mysterious ways
But beauty is not what we're after
Now the chicken imagines a heaven
Full of roosters and plenty of corn
And God is a very old rooster
And eggs are like Jesus, his son
[Chorus]
Every day is a miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
[Verse 2]
Cockroach might eat Mona Lisa
The pope don't mean shit to a dog
And elephants don't read newspapers
And the kiss of a chicken is hot
The brain of a chicken
And the dick of a donkey
A pig in a blanket
And that's why you want me
What does it feel like
To be your tongue
Moving around in your mouth
To be free in the forest of your love
A cockroach in the cosmos of your house
[Chorus]
Every day is a miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
I'm a blond, a brunette and a redhead
I thought up the birds and the bees
My software is famous all over
My money is crawling on trees
The mind is a soft boiled potato
A jewel in a chocolate shell
I staple my love to your heart dear
With memories and beautiful smells
Every day is a miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
Every day is a miracle
Every day is an unpaid bill
You've got to sing for your supper
Love one another
It is about life and people.. How we are and perceptions.. Every day is a miracle.. But then a miracle for whom..
dude have you haed the new David Byrne album..im really grooving to it
Lyrically similar to his and Bernie Worrell's co-written 'Sing' from 1990s Funk of Ages.
The verses are actually identical (found this because I was trying to find the lyrics to 'Sing', actually)
@the_muteKi oh shit!
the brain of a chicken and the dick of a donkey
awesome
The entire song is awesome lyrics but that line is giant!
Oooh! The combination of religious themes and coconuts is quite inspired! 😃
I do, however, wish to lodge an objection regarding the parts of this song that lie inside the box.
I extend my commendations for the 99% that comes prepackaged separately as my pastime is boxing concepts, analogue analogies and themes.
Wtf are these lyrics and how do they relate to the chorus lol, love the song tho
It's an analogy making fun of religious fundamentalism
This album was released on my birthday. Fuck yeah
Chickens kiss quite gently as they are aware your nose is soft hahaha. I can tell you this! Best pets ever x
I'm getting two chickens next month and this song is getting me really excited for my new pets haha :)
They vibrate when they are happy!x
I got bunnies and they're pretty awesome I must say.
Pico de Gallo
They didn't have this album at my fye so gonna have to buy it online.
que wea el regetón davidddd
Me love. This is so what I love about David Byrne. Thank you. I stumbled upon this tonight as I binge watched Talking Heads videos. Now I'm binge listening to you, dear David. ❤️
Everyday is a miracle !!! You are right Mr. Byrne.....
I can paint pictures in the air when Mr Byrne lets his noisy voice box fly!
Hope the whole album has this vibe—this is excellent!
