Everybody’s Coming to My House Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wish I was a camera
I wish I was a postcard
I welcome you to my house
You didn't have to go far
A house and a garden
There are, there's plants and trees
Make a, a closer inspection
If you get, get down on your knees
[Chorus]
Now everybody's coming to my house
And I'm never gonna be alone
And everybody's coming to my house
And they're never gonna go back home
[Verse 2]
I'm pointing and describing
And I can be your guide
The skin is just a roadmap
The view is very nice
Imagine looking at a picture
Imagine driving in a car
Imagine rolling down the window
Imagine opening the door
I wish I was a camera
I wish I was a postcard
I welcome you to my house
You didn't have to go far
A house and a garden
There are, there's plants and trees
Make a, a closer inspection
If you get, get down on your knees
[Chorus]
Now everybody's coming to my house
And I'm never gonna be alone
And everybody's coming to my house
And they're never gonna go back home
[Verse 2]
I'm pointing and describing
And I can be your guide
The skin is just a roadmap
The view is very nice
Imagine looking at a picture
Imagine driving in a car
Imagine rolling down the window
Imagine opening the door
[Chorus]
Everybody's coming to my house
Everybody's coming to my house
I'm never gonna be alone
And they're never gonna go back home
[Bridge]
We're only tourists in this life
Only tourists but the view is nice
And we're never gonna go back home
No we're never gonna go back home (Alright)
We're only tourists in this life
Only tourists but the view is nice
[Chorus]
Now everybody's coming to my house
And I'm never gonna be alone
And everybody's coming to my house
And they're never gonna go back home
[Outro]
Everybody's coming to my house
Everybody's coming to my house
I'm never gonna be alone
And they're never gonna go back home
Everybody's coming to my house
Everybody's coming to my house
I'm never gonna be alone
And they're never gonna go back home
[Bridge]
We're only tourists in this life
Only tourists but the view is nice
And we're never gonna go back home
No we're never gonna go back home (Alright)
We're only tourists in this life
Only tourists but the view is nice
[Chorus]
Now everybody's coming to my house
And I'm never gonna be alone
And everybody's coming to my house
And they're never gonna go back home
[Outro]
Everybody's coming to my house
Everybody's coming to my house
I'm never gonna be alone
And they're never gonna go back home
About
Genius Annotation
“Everybody’s Coming to My House” is simultaneously the lead single of David Byrne’s 2018 album American Utopia (the exact count of which has been lost to the ages) and a result of the culmination of his past ideas and experiences.
Channeling Deleuzian metamorphosic chants, it offers the postmodern Dionysiac Cure wrapped in the Eno-produced sound-wall using techniques to trick your ear into believing it’s louder than it is.
David Byrne has finally come home, and he’s taking everyone with him.
