This is not a David Byrne song,
it is a Captain Beefheart song titled 'Well'.

David Byrne had performed it live





Light floats down day river on uh red raft o' blood

Night blocks out d' heaven like uh big black shiny bug

Its hard soft shell shinin' white in one spot well

It's hard place dat I'm livin' but I'm doin' well well

The white ice horse melted like uh spot uh silver well

Its mane went last then disappeared the tail

My life ran thru my veins

Whistlin' hollow well

I froze in solid motion well well

I heard the ocean swarmin' body well well

I heard the beetle clickin' well

I sensed the thickest silence scream

Then I begin t' dream

My mind cracked like custard

Ran red until it sealed

Turn t' wooden 'n rolled like uh wheel well well

Thick black felt birds uh flyin'

With capes of solid chrome

With feathers of solid chrome

'n beaks of solid bone

'n bleach the air around them

White 'n cold well well

Till it showed in pain

The hollow cane clicked like ever after

Its shadow vanished shinin' silence

Well well
