Lyrics Making Flippy Floppy - Live - Talking Heads

Wait a minute
Everybody, get in line

Nothing can come between us
Nothing gets you down
Nothing strikes your fancy
Nothing turns you on

You don't have to wait for more instructions
No one makes a monkey out of me
We lie on our backs, feet in the air
Rest and relaxation, rocket to my brain

Snap into position
Bounce 'til you ache
Step out of line
And you end up in jail

Doctor, doctor
We have nothing in our pockets
We continue
But we have nothing left to offer

Faces pressed against the window
Hey, they're just my friends
Check this out, don't be so slick
Break our backs, it goes like this

We are born without eyesight
We are born without sin
And our mama protects us
From the cold and the rain

We're in no hurry
Sugar and spice
We sing in the darkness
And we open our eyes (open up)

I can't believe it
And people are strange
Our president's crazy
Did you hear what he said?

Business and pleasure
Lie right to your face
Divide it in sections
And then give it away

There are no big secrets
Don't believe what you read
Got great big bodies
Got great big heads

Run-a-run-a-run it all together
Check it out, still don't make no sense
Making flippy floppy, tryin' to do my best
Lock the door, we kill the beast
Kill it!
