The Moment Of Conception

At the moment of conception I could see someone approaching Will you be my disco dancer? I could use a little coaching Will you be my secret lover? Mother, Father, Sister, Brother too I was born without a conscience Full of freedom, full of nonsense From the mountains to the beaches Eat the apples, steal the peaches Will you be this wild child's lady? Will you carry me to safety? Lock me up & take me home I don't want to be free Goin' crazy - on my own It's not where I want to be I behave without compassion I see things I want to smash them When I put our love in danger & treat you like a total stranger I don't really want to hurt you I would stop it if I could do Blame my school & blame my parents & the genes that I inherit Blame it on my older sister for showing me her dirty pictures Blame the TV & the movies Blame the lawyers & the juries Lock me up & take me home I don't want to be free Goin' crazy - on my own It's not where I want to be At the moment of conception At the moment of conception --- The Moment of Conception - David Byrne
