The Lyrics:

Everyone here is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven they play my favorite song.
They play it once again, play it all night long.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will believe at exactly the same time.
It's hard to imagine, that nothing ever happens,
could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

When this kiss over, it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.

It's hard to imagine, that nothing at all
could be so exciting, could be this much fun.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

Only 2,391 views as of counting. What a sin. Yet Lady fucking GaGa gets millions; the world is fucked. Thanks for uploading this.

[MrPrimus1976]

[krakenwave]

In 1985 the UK best-selling album "Picture Box" by Simply Red featured a soulfull slowed-down version of this song which gopt a lot of international radio play

[mindislife]

[gpol39]

Could you post a link to the song?

[imaginator]

THERE IS ANOTHER SOFTER AND SLOWER VERSION OF THIS SONG FROM A CD CALLED "BERLIN". Is that also by Talking Heads?

[stellabloo]

love the live version of this!

[gtrrobster]

Often true. But I think most people who know DB/TH and know music in the past 40 years recognize Byrne to be brilliant. As are Bowie and Lou Reed are recognized.

Man, to have seen that TH-SMS tour in 83. I wish!

Bill Simmons/ 30 for 30 brought me here

[James Linkletter]

Brilliant..that is all.

[wilferine]

Never heard this version before. Pretty cool, though i prefer the acoustic version on Stop Making Sense. Quite possibly the greatest concert film ever made!!

[Austin Rock]

What a song, is it the best ever written? The words are incredible, dark and joyous, isn't art what humanity is all about?
