Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who'll be my valentine?
Who'll lift this heavy load?
Who'll share this taxi cab?
Who wants to climb aboard?
[Refrain]
Who is an honest man?
Who is an honest man?
[Chorus]
Who'll help the tired soldier
Far from his own hometown?
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the sun goes down
[Refrain]
Who is an honest man?
Who is an honest man?
[Verse 2]
Who walks this dusty road?
Who always pulls their weight?
Who's this inside of me?
Who made a big mistake?
[Chorus]
Who sees these constellations
Seen in those spinning round?
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the sun goes down
[Refrain]
Who is an honest man?
Who is an honest man?
[Bridge]
With a graceful motion she sat down slowly
Drank a cup of coffee and she'll fold her laundry
She begins to tell us all her life story
All around the table, everybody's staring
[Chorus]
Who shouts out hallelujah?
Who's gonna sing out loud?
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the sun goes down
[Instrumental]
Who's getting out of here?
Who thinks they're wide awake?
Who's gonna be my friend?
All around the table, everybody's staring
Written by: Annie Clark, David Byrne
