She Explains Things To Me (feat. Ghost Train Orchestra)

David Byrne(데이빗 번)

She explains what is happening in the movies we watch

I ask, "Why did they do that? Why did they stop?

Why did they say that on that TV show?"

And I ask myself, "Wow, how did she know?"

 

She explains what a character really meant

What was their motive? What was their intent?

She explains the things that we're supposed to infer

Well, how come it's all so obvious for her?

 

How did she know that? How did she see?

Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?

Can you explain my heart? Explain my love?

Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does

 

She explains to me what a poem is about

Not what you think, you have to figure it out

She tells me that folks don't always mean what they say

You can tell what they're thinking by the look on their face

 

Now, how does she know that? How did she see?

Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?

Can you explain my heart? Explain my love?

Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does
