DAVID BYRNE lyrics - The Whole Man

[Vocal by Kate Pierson]



We're talking-about the whole man

In body-in mind and in spirit

And you, give the body, what is good, good, good, good

You make him-educated



What makes a home?

The answer is love

What is love when it's real?

The answer is beauty



We're talking-about the whole man

When he's whole-we see him smile

But take-just one part-away from the rest

And now he's a-a crocodile



What makes a home?

The answer is love

What is love when it's real?

The answer is beauty



Beauty through time

Culture and spirit

At home where he lives

He's up when he's in it

The heart and the home

Wherever he lives

He's up when he's down

He takes when he gives-



How do the children draw a tree?

Zero and one-are you following me?

Human order-woman and man

So on and on-are you seeing the plan?



Going in circles-chasing the dollar

Like a Pac-Man-a vicious creature!

Here, over here, the center is mankind

But I'll never-be a teacher!



What makes a home?

The answer is love

What is love when it's real?

The answer is beauty



Beauty through time

Culture and spirit

At home where he lives

He's up when he's in it

The heart and the home

Wherever he lives

He's up when he's down

He takes when he gives-he's a:



Cos-mos man

A cross to a flower!

Switch! Recycle

Ecological order



Cos-mos man

A cross to a flower!

Switch! Recycle
