Lyric discussion by Ana Byrd 

Just reading the words, either interpretation fits. I think DB left it ambiguous on purpose. The music, however, makes me think it's saying that nothing ever happening would be a good thing (especially considering how many other Talking Heads songs seem to have to do with being overwhelmed by too much going on).

@Ana Byrd - Good insight. The line, "It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be this much fun," points out that it IS fun.

I agree, Ana Byrd
