Letra de
And She Was

And She Was fue inspirada por una experiencia que David Byrne tuvo con una amiga bajo la influencia de LSD en un campo cerca de su casa. La canción refleja las sensaciones de libertad y la interconexión de todo mientras se está bajo el efecto de la droga.

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of the neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate and she
Opens up her eyes

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
And she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe and she's
Drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all and she's
Up above the yard

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was

And she was glad about it, no doubt about it
She isn't sure 'bout what she's done
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done and she was
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions

Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey, hey

The world was moving, she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
Joining the world of missing persons and she was
Missing enough to feel alright and she was
And she was (x7)
And she was
