Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere (1985)


If we're gonna go out, let's go out like this song, joyous in the face of un-knowledge and un-certainty.

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's alright, baby it's alright
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's alright , baby it's alright
Would you like to come along
You can help me sing this song
And it's alright, baby it's alright
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's alright, baby it's alright

I think we all need that comforting feeling in that repeated last line...
