Optimist Songtext
von David Byrne & St. Vincent

Waiting, but I don′t mind
I'm all bus stops and heat
I′m neon, in your daylight

I'm the optimist of 30th Street
How it is is how it oughta be


I got anything but moneyed esteem
Drinks on Condé Nast
I'm the optimist of 30th Street
How it is is how it oughta be

I spy on the Up-Upper East
There′s no reason to be upset
There′s no reason to not expect

There's no room for emptiness
No tea or sympathy
There′s no room for emptiness
On a never-empty street
