David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra She Explains Things To Me Lyrics

[Intro]
She explains what is happening in the movies we watch
I ask, "Why did they do that? Why did they stop?
Why did they say that on that TV show?"
And I ask myself, "Wow, how did she know?"

[Verse 1]
She explains what a character really meant
What was their motive? What was their intent?
She explains the things that we're supposed to infer
Well, how come it's all so obvious for her?
[Chorus]
How did she know that? How did she see?
Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?
Can you explain my heart? Explain my love? Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does

[Verse 2]
She explains to mе what a poem is about
Not what you think, you have to figure it out
Shе tells me that folks don't always mean what they say
You can tell what they're thinking by the look on their face

[Chorus]
Now, how does she know that? How did she see?
Why is that funny? Can you explain it to me?
Can you explain my heart? Explain my love?
Explain what's happening? Well, that's what it does
