Lifetime Piling Up Lyrics

Cover art for Lifetime Piling Up lyrics by Talking Heads

This song to me is about how you can careen wildly out of control, and if you relax and remember your destination, you find a winning number at the end. It's a song that says don't take yourself so seriously to me.

It's cool that you're so much less cynical than me. I understood the lottery as being the easy way to end the song, the easy way to solve your problems. I just don't feel that winning the lottery makes you a better person, just like having a sexy car or a ton more cookie cutter houses. But maybe these are just the musings of a have-not... I like to justify myself by saying I don't want it all.
