[Verse 1: Caetano Veloso]
Amplifiers and old guitars
Country music sung in bars
And when she sings, the revolution's near

[Verse 2: Caetano Veloso]
Beauty holds the microphone
And watches as we stumble home
And she can see the revolution now

[Chorus: Caetano Veloso & David Byrne]
Dirt and fish and trees and houses
Smoke and hands up women's blouses
Not like I expected it would be
Bubbles pop in every size
It's analyzed and criticized
And beauty knows that it is almost here

[Verse 3: Caetano Veloso]
Beauty goes to her address
She shuts the door and climbs the stairs
And when shе sleeps, the revolution grows

[Verse 4: Caetano Veloso & David Byrne]
Beauty rеsts on mattress springs
Wearing just her underthings
And when she wakes, the revolution wins
[Outro: Caetano Veloso & David Byrne]
When she wakes, the revolution's here

[Caetano Veloso]
Ladies and gentleman: David Byrne
