Office Cowboy (Pagode) - Lyrics by David Byrne


Lyrics

I can see an office cowboy
How he turns and smiles, watching the girls go by
(ride'em cowboy)
He knows how to ride a pony
If laughter makes you well, what if the well runs dry?
(ride'em cowboy)

Batom - a bala bate no meu coraõyo
Dentes espalhados pelo ch¾q
Natural
E a vezes social

All night long, the great pretender
Sat upon his throne
Nothing can stop him now
(vai la cou boi)

V¾q suadas, ammarrotadas
Nota de dez, nota de vinte vai
(noite cai)

Hey now! it was a little taste of paradise
Always riding in the circle line
This poor cowboy's always on the run

Coyotes howling at the moon
Cowboys are singing out this lonesome tune

Duas selas, dois de raé—
Dois irm¾qs e dois urubus
(sobra um)

N¾q e
It's just enough to whet my appetite
And every cowboy needs to take a bite
Capo d'agua
Que caiu no ch¾q

It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right

'tou roubando m‹± n¾q sou ladr¾q

E demais
E demais
E demais

Ev'ryone's a cowboy in this town
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right

'tou roubando m‹± nao sou ladr¾q

E demais
E demais
E demais

Ev'ryone's a cowboy in this town
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
