The Sound of Business - David Byrne

They were driving south on the highway

Their business was in another town

Bigger than the town they were driving from

Business took place during office hours in both towns

This drive was considered business

The feeling of passing other cars

Was also considered business

A feeling of business being done

The feeling of drifting slowly

Through a field of moving vehicles

This was the real speed speed of business

Not the numbers on the speedometer

One of them was playing with the radio

Slowly changing the channel from one station to another

Sometimes listening to both channels at once

On one channel a man was

Talking to another man on the telephone

The other channel was playing oldies

'Puzzle Power' 'Beechwood Serenade'

The sound of business being done
