Weekend in the Dust Lyrics

One so mysterious
Now decoded and u-used
Now according to you, you
One so mysterious
One so mysterious
Now decoded and u-used
Now according to you, you
One so mysterious

Rip it well; well, you have won it out
Give it all; why won't you give it out
Where's the fun in holding out the part
Everyone gets up when you sit down

I don't get it, I just don't get it
I don't get it, I just don't

When the party's over, we can call them dogs
Dare to keep our shirts on, rolling in the mud
Weekend in the dust
We can fool 'em all

If you're here, I'll be your hollow pet
Why have none when we can have it all

I don't get it, I just don't get it
I don't get it, I just don't

I don't get it, I just don't get it
I don't get it, I just don't

I don't get it, I just don't get it
I don't get it, I just don't


I don't get it, I just don't get it
I don't get it, I just don't

David Byrne and St. Vincent collaborated on the album "Love This Giant".

David Byrne and Annie Clark of St. Vincent began working together in late 2009, using a process that Byrne had previously used on his 2008 collaboration with Brian Eno, "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today." The Who Songfacts reports that Love This Giant was recorded in Hoboken, New Jersey over a two-year period and features 10 songs co-written by the two musicians, with each one fully penning one additional track.

The duo had previously played together live at a St. Vincent show and on the album Here Lies Love.

The duo worked with a digital promotions company to distribute the promotional single "Who" and create embeddable widgets to stream the album. They toured to promote the album with a backing band that includes eight brass players (led by Kelly Pratt of Bright Moments), St. Vincent's keyboardist Daniel Mintseris, and My Brightest Diamond's drummer Brian Wolfe. Like Byrne's previous Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno Tour, the performers engaged in complex choreography onstage while performing
