counting all the possibilities

David Byrne & Brian Eno
My Big Nurse

When the lake's on fire
With all the world's desires
When he shakes the stars above
When we lose the ones we love
When the seasons lose their grip

When the tightrope walker slips
I'm counting all the possibilities

When the past becomes the now

When the lost becomes the found
When we fall in love with war
When the angel fucks the whore
When the road we travel on

Takes us back where we came from
A million kinds of possibilities

For dancing on this lazy afternoon

In the comfort of the world

In the arms of my big nurse
From the science of the heart
To each animal and plant
Compact, relaxed- intact, give thanks
I'm counting all the possibilities

For dancing on this lazy afternoon
