Written by David Byrne, Brian Eno, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, and Tina Weymouth, it made number 14 in the UK charts and number 31 in The Netherlands
The verses of the song consist of David Byrne speaking rather than singing. With the lyrics "Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down," the song has an existential mood to it, although it is usually interpreted to be a song dealing with the midlife crisis and the inevitable sacrifice of youthful ideals and dreams for conventional success.
The music video features a bespectacled David Byrne dancing much like a marionette. Some of Byrne's mannerisms (such as physical spasms, unfocussed eye movements, and sharp intakes of breath) were inspired by his choreographer Toni Basil showing him footage of epilepsy sufferers.
