Talking Heads "Lifetime Piling Up"steemCreated with Sketch.

in music •  7 years ago 

"I have tried marijuana
I get nervous every time
There will come a knockin' at the door
Why is everybody makin' eyes at me?
I don't want to know
Excuse and pardon me
Stay for a while
Maybe we'll never meet again
I can see my lifetime piling up
I can see the days turn into nights
I can see the people on the street
Open those windows up
A hundred floors below me
Pilin' those houses up
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
I can feel them swayin' back and forth
Building it higher, higher
This tower's learning over
I got bad coordination
Stuck a pencil in my eye
I can hardly wait to get back home
Why is everybody gettin' paranoid?
I's only havin' fun
Scum-bags and superstars
Tell me your names
I'll make a bet, you're
Both the same
I can see my lifetime pilin' up
Reaching from my bedroom to the stars
I can see the house where I was born
When I was growin' up - they say that
I could never keep my trousers up
I remember days and crazy nights
Are there any pirates on this ship?
And if they sober up - they'll have us
Home by morning
Cry, cry, cry
It's just you and I
Like an automobile
With no one at the wheel
Spinning out of control
We're all over the road
In our sexy machine
All the passengers scream
Scream, scream!
I can see my lifetime pilin' up
I can see it smashin' into yours
It was not an accident at all
Open your window up - I hear you laughin'
Goin' one, two, three, four, five
Goin' from the bottom to the top
Maybe I'm holding on too tight
And now I'm growin' up
I got a funny feeling
Pilin' those houses up
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
Building that highway to the stars
And turning the music up - Hey!
I got a winning number"

Song Should Be Named...

"I Should Have Vaped!" lol

A significant number of people have reported an absence of paranoia (with the same cannabis) when they use a vaporizer. I get the feeling something is missing, so I can see there may be a connection. :)

great song, not sure if vaporizing was a big thing back then. Didn't earn an upvote? Hope you are doing well. Interesting mining offer.

My upvote is only worth $.02 and I don't believe copy/pasting is worth as much. Do you?

did you listen to the song because of the post? Did it please you? If it did I think it does. If you didnt it doesnt. If your game is profit maximization then it only would if you believe that it might make some mutually beneficial reciprocal relationship of my much less powerful upvote helping you attract more upvotes. Likely not from a profit maximization perspective, but from a utility perspective perhaps--especially if you did not already know of the song or were not likely to listen to it soon.

I've heard the song, I didn't go look it up, I wouldn't have looked it up on my own. I happened to read the first lyric (was expecting a post) and it triggered information we know now.

You don't get paid because you punched in for work, you get paid for the work you do. ;)

did you derive utility from the post or not? Sounds like you may have? Did you listen to the song? Did you enjoy it?
