David Byrne - I Dance Like This Lyrics






In another dimension
Like clothes that you wear
A mighty mighty battle
Sprouting illegal hair
A fitness consultant
In the negative zone
Wandering the city
Looking for a home

I dance like this
Because it feels so damn good
If I could dance better
Well you know that I would

How the rumour got started
One can only guess
And the truth don't mean nothing
If you ain't got the cash
A credit card mommy
An invisible dad
Career opportunities
That you never had

We dance like this
Because it feels so damn good
If we could dance better
Well you know that we would

I'm working on my dancing
This is the best I can do
I'm tentatively shaking
You don't have to look
Can't say I'm sorry
I can't say I'm ashamed
Can't think of tomorrow
When it seems so far away

We dance like this
Because it feels so damn good
If we could dance better
Well you know that we would
We dance like this
Because it feels so damn good
If we could dance better
Well you know that we would

    :) loving this

  2. J.... G....

    We booked the last concert in Boston in late September 2019 before he moved to Broadway. I showed my wife the videos ahead of time and she hated them - we went to the show and we were both blown away. One of the most meaningful shows ever. Loved the lyrics and psychology. Fantastic, I hope he does well on Broadway. If you get a chance, see the show, although the YouTube is great, the show is so much better

  3. T.... W....

    And it is entertaining and genius in it's own way.

  4. T.... W....

    Explaining the condition he didnt ask for but has and some limits its placed on his expression . But hes learning he has expression and it has a rhythm all it's own.

  18. t.... p....

    The chic shreds this at his show live

  19. J.... A....

    The chorus of this song reminds me to a fusión of Kraftwerk & Alice in chains. Excelsior again, Mr Byrne¡¡

  20. n.... h....

    David Thank you..We love to dance to your beat.. It feels so damn GOOD !

  21. t.... ....

    I'm going to see him next month in Brighton UK - after reading these reviews I am looking forward to the gig even more.

  22. I.... B....

    I have tix for next week in CT. Just saw the show in Chile and can't wait.

  23. B.... K....

    The American Utopia concert was absolutely on of the best live performances I have ever seen!

  24. D.... A....

    a lot of negative things said about this song i really like it tbh

  25. I.... R....

    tHANKS dAVID FOR BEING WITH ME YESTERDAY IN MADRID. I ALSO DANCED LIKE THIS THANKS TO YOUR INCONMENSURABLE SHOW. UTOPIA IS ALWAYS NECESSARY.

  26. D.... S....

    Yawn...

  27. r.... ....

    Fav song ever

  28. F.... V....

    David Byrne performed at the Metronome festival in Prague last week. I´ve probably never seen anything that captivating and fascinating. What a show!

  29. G.... J....

    I highly doubt you'll see this comment Mr. Byrne, but if you do, please consider having your new tour recorded and put out on DVD and Blu-Ray. I saw you in Des Moines and I had such a blast. I would buy it day one just to see it all again.

    G.... J....

    Gohn Joodman, you can actually find some full recordings of the tours here on YouTube with good sound quality. Just go ahead and search "David Byrne Tour 2018". (Besides, I think the live songs sound better)

    G.... J....

    Magic Cucumber 71 Yes indeed. Would love a professionally recorded one though

  30. P.... C....

    Trash. Why do these old washed-up musicians still make music? YOU HAD YOUR TIME. Go shrivel up and die somewhere.

    P.... C....

    You first, Conroy. You're already sounding like someone whose time is up.

    P.... C....

    It is always people that ruined their own life that try to run other people's lives.
    So why don't you do something worth other people's time?
    Being it is his life and he is free to do whatever he wants.

  31. p.... b....

    Mr Byrne for president. Enough said.

    Can’t wait... coming home to Maryland...Merriweather Post Pavilion 2018... same as it ever was!!!

    B.... L....

    Bruce Ladenheim such a great show. Brought tears to my eyes I was overcome with emotion. An experiential trip

  35. H.... N....

    I wonder if this is the kinda stuff Byrne wanted to do with Talking Heads that made Tina and Chris finally say "No, David"

    H.... N....

    Loli Canoli well if you listen to Memories Can't Wait off Fear of Music, it's kinda similar. But not _as_ weird.

  36. B.... C....

    I love you

  37. V.... R....

    Saudades da adolescência escutando Talking Heads todo dia...demais belo trabalho David Byrne

  38. N.... ....

    The mighty CKUA radio (ckua.com) played two tracks including this one off the album yesterday and informed me he's coming to town. Yes!

  39. F.... ....

    Something about this I like and simultaneously dislike almost a perfectly equal amount.
    It can't be explained.

    F.... ....

    its called the mediocre effect

    F.... ....

    That's exactly what I said. What the heck?!

    F.... ....

    It might be because it's a concept album.

    F.... ....

    Actually, after listening to this album over and over (cuz damn it's great, I even got the CD) I've come to just like that weird weird chorus.

    F.... ....

    I also just was listening to Fear of Music earlier today and I noticed the chorus here was similar to Memories Can't Wait. Which I also enjoyed.

  40. j.... w....

    his career road to nowhere

  41. M.... ....

    Crazy transition

  42. A.... ....

    What ever floats ya boat. Sunk mine.

  43. N.... ....

    This song is terrible.... so why the fuck can I not stop listening to it???!!!

    N.... ....

    Maybe because its not actually that horrible.

  50. T.... F....

    Why did I get a notification for this crap

    T.... F....

    I don't know but you should consider yourself lucky. I've been waiting for this album for almost a decade and I think it's beautiful. Maybe the notification system just mistook you for having taste.

    T.... F....

    Adam Thorton lucky? For having shit shoveled down my throat? I'm sorry your "taste" isn't as refined as mine. If you're happy with low class music have at itm

    T.... F....

    It can't be expected that any one song could please everyone who listens to it, and you're entitled to your opinion, but it's just that- an opinion. Stop being a dick and acting like your personal taste is the metric by which all music is objectively judged. There's such a thing as clicking off a video without commenting.

  51. B.... P....

    Love the new album, David. Very fresh, thanks so much.

  52. S.... B....

    David I'd like to give you your own channel on steempunk radio so you can talk about reasons to be cheerful

  53. Y.... ....

    In another dimension, I'm playing trombone and tap dancing to hold time while David Byrne sings. Thanks for the new album. It's beautiful.

  54. G.... S....

    THANKS DAVID FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO (STILL BEING YOU) 🎼👍✌💖 (SOUL FREE ) X X X

  55. o.... ....

    wow, David Byrne still has it! <3 Thank you so much for making this album even though the 'industry' has gone down so badly!!!!

  56. B.... K....

    Wtf hayley?!

    B.... K....

    Buzz Kill 😂

  57. l.... ....

    Terrible

    l.... ....

    I think he hit his peak with Talking Heads in '84 or '85, before he got the idea that he could fare better solo.

    l.... ....

    Neil I would tend to agree. But he can channel whatever artists like Mike Patton can and still make solid fully accessible music that jumps all over the place. It's more so about growth as an entire community in my opinion, and I feel like David Byrne is up there in terms of artists that promote growth.

  58. U.... P....

    Mr Byrne, en escasos 9 días nos cruzaremos por el Gran Rex... Siempre un placer máster

    U.... P....

    NOS VEREMOS EN EL REX, SOY DE PÁRANA

  59. A.... R....

    David <3

  60. H.... K....

    Thank you Mr. Byrne - c u in Vienna

  61. L.... P....

    If you all get a chance to see this man live, I would highly, highly recommend it. I drove 3 hours to see the first show of his American Utopia tour in New Jersey, and, despite some flubs here and there, it was really incredible. Even though he performed a lot of songs from this album (which I was not familiar with, as the album had yet to be released), I was still constantly captivated and entertained by the quality of the performance itself. And when he did play a Talking Heads song here and there, the crowd went absolutely insane. For me, this show stands toe to toe with Stop Making Sense. And this was only the first show! Imagine how good it’ll be by the time he’s polished everything up. I hope to get tickets to one of his more local performances in the future, and I hope you do, too. Because it is truly a spectacle to behold

    L.... P....

    I don't want to the overhype anything for anyone, but my personal feeling is that this was the best concert I've ever attended. It was four days ago and I am still blown away

    L.... P....

    Saw him last night- totally agree!

    L.... P....

    I saw him in Detroit. You could tell a lot of practice went into the routine

    L.... P....

    Going on Saturday in Cardiff to hear him live for the first time, a dream come true and probably the only time I'll ever get the chance to hear him perform some of the talking heads songs I love. K

    L.... P....

    Saw the show about 3 weeks ago. Absolutely incredible. Might be the best show I've seen.
