david byrne – unknown lyrics

do you recognize this david byrne song that starts:

life floats down the river on a red raft of blood.
night blocked out the heavens like a big black shiny bug,
its hard soft sh-ll shining…….
it’s a hard place that i’m living, but i guess i’m doing well.

it is cut 17 on a boot i just traded for

cut 19 is another song i don’t recognize:
it may be called “it goes back”

it mentions the three stooges, the marx brothers, krazy kat, laurel and hardy,
count dracula, the golem, clark gable, lamont cranston, popeye the sailor, etc.

does that one sound familiar?
