Lost my shape
Trying to act casual
Can't stop
I might end up in the hospital
Changing my shape
I feel like an accident
They're back
To explain their experience

Isn't it weird?
Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away
That was their policy

I'm ready to leave
I push the fact in front of me
Facts lost
Yeah, facts are never what they seem to be
Nothing there
No information left of any kind
L-l-lifting my head
L-l-looking for the danger signs

There was a line
There was a formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line
There was a formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us

I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting

The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside

The island of doubt
It's like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight
Got the message from the oxygen
M-m-making a list
Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right
Facts are useful in emergencies

The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting

Always thought it was "the island of DUMB, it's like the taste of medicine." Doubt works too but still like dumb more!

Love this song, but with so much music out there, why do I hear it every day? This is the third day in a row, I think.

Stiiiiiilllllll waiting for other Head songs to play.

My favourite (English UK spelling) one too with David Byrne and TH at the top of their game - pity it all went downhill after this album.

 
David Byrne recently played San Francisco with a brilliant band and an incredible song selection - including many Talking Heads songs. The show was one of the best I'd seen in a few years.

Great footage—thanks! Was this performance used in "The Name of This Band is The Talking Heads"? That album's largely forgotten these days. 

I saw Belew at Carnegie-Mellon University around '84 with one of Elvis Presley's drummers (who had his own eager audience of fans/questioners about Elvis at the end of the show). Loud and a lot of fun. 

 
Belew is now in a quartet with Stewart Copeland!

Treated myself to the YouTube video of the TH Live in Rome '80 posted by jbuhl below, and it was INCREDIBLE! Byrne, Harrison, AND Belew are all three absolutely shredding guitars, and they're backed by Tina AND some other mad cat on bass, and Chris has another drummer along on stage next to him! AND they have an additional vocalist, too!  They're full-on jamming, at the peak of their powers!

This song is GREAT. The beat kills me. They were one of the first bands to wake me up to alternative music back in the late 70's and early 80's. Great era if you were there. All era's are good, nothing bad about creativity when it comes to music. Just depends on your perspective and where you are in your life. :)

Still love the lyrics though.
