Cover art for The Man Who Loved Beer lyrics by David Byrne

This song is loosely based off an old anonymous Egytian poem disputing suicide.

To Whom Shall I Speak Today?'

To whom shall I speak today? I am laden with misery Through lack of an intimate ... Death is in my sight today Like the clearing of the sky, Like a man attracted thereby to What he knows not.

Death is in my sight today, Like the longing of a man to see home When he has spent many years held in captivity.
