a door called no

David Byrne

I went to the place where I was told I should go
But when I got there, there was a, a door called no
I met with a man who said I should know
That you cannot go in when the, the door says n o

He said, Not so fast, you ve got to go slow
And these things take time if the, the door says no
It said, Don t open me, sir
There s a reason I m closed, and
And no one can enter as everyone knows

Then I met a girl, she gave me a kiss
I discovered a world where the door says yes
I began to see things, there s more and not less
Every atom and tree is shouting out yes

Every thought that we have, every step, every guess
Every sound, every stone, the whole world is yes
From my head to my toes, even I can be blessed
The change, it has come, it is forever yes
