Sad Song Lyrics by David Byrne
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
"You may think I look sad
But I am just sleeping
It's my facial expression
I'm probably dreaming

Would you like to be sad?
Would you like me to teach you?
Well, you can learn to be sad
But you must practice like I do

Na na na, na na na na ...

You must follow directions
And learn it right from the start
There isn't a short cut
It must come from your heart

Well there are those who are happy
And there are those who are wise
But it's the truly sad people
Who get the most out of life

Na na na, na na na na ...

You may think I look sad
But I am just sleeping
It's my facial expression
I'm probably dreaming
"
"You may think I look sad   But I am just sleeping   It's my facial expression   I'm probably dreaming      Would you like to be sad?   Would you like me to teach you?   Well, you can learn to be sad   But you must practice like I do      Na na na, na na na na ...      You must follow directions   And learn it right from the start   There isn't a short cut   It must come from your heart      Well there are those who are happy   And there are those who are wise   But it's the truly sad people   Who get the most out of life      Na na na, na na na na ...      You may think I look sad   But I am just sleeping   It's my facial expression   I'm probably dreaming   "
