Hey
I got a beautiful girl
She is nothing to me
I got some really great friends
They're nothing to see
Thank you for nothing, my love
I needed it most
Now I'd like to make a toast
To nothing

It's the year of the walking dead
The year of the talking heads
Let it all come tumbling down around
So it's the year of the big regrets
The year of the blue Blue States
Let it all come tumbling down
It all comes tumbling down
Today

Hey
So I've got nothing to say
To your big night stick
I don't believe in your power
You stupid prick
Thank you for nothing, my love
I needed it bad
Without it, I would have gone mad
For nothing

It's the year of the walking dead
The year of the talking heads
The year that it all comes tumbling down around
It's the year of the big regrets
The year of the blue Blue States
Let it all come tumbling down
It all comes tumbling down
Tonight

It all comes tumbling down tonight
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh ooh
It all comes tumbling down tonight

Yeah that's what i'm hearing too.

Given the context of the song, I don't think its refering to the band Talking Heads.

course it is....playing with the word, like it was all about heads that can talk and David Byrne´s Talking Heads. if it wasn´t then why on earth would he write talking with a capital t?

I think the lyrics posted here are interpreted by us fans, not official lyrics released from the band. Anyway, a "talking head" is a term used in reference to news figures, etc who are shown w/ the head/shoulders camera shot. It was a term used before the band Talking Heads...don't know if thats where they picked it up or not. But the references in this particular song to "blue states" and "power", and the apathetic and slightly political overtone (undertone?) makes me the think it was more than a shout out to the Talking Heads. So yes, play on word is what I was getting at.

yea good point, will change the capital letters
