Laurie Anderson - One Beautiful Evening[00:02:41]
One beautiful evening in the garden on Eden[00:02:41]
A snake came walking in the twilight[00:02:41]
He was leaning on his ivory cane[00:02:41]
And he said, let me tell you a little secret about life[00:02:41]
There's a certain sharpness to a knife, or a diamond[00:02:41]
Come here, Watch it glitter[00:02:41]
Oh it's another blue day in a nowhere place[00:02:41]
We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hay[00:02:41]
I'm a little teapot short and stout[00:02:41]
Tip me over and pour me out[00:02:41]
You know when the Egyptians built their steam trains[00:02:41]
They didn't have any fuel to burn - no wood, no trees anywhere.[00:02:41]
But they did have a lot of old mummy rags lying around[00:02:41]
So the gathered up all the rags and burned them in their trains[00:02:41]
Yeah, they burned their ancestors for fuel.[00:02:41]
Ooo, I'm a crocodile floating down the river[00:02:41]
I'm a tree catching my own oranges as they fall from my head[00:02:41]
I'm a little teapot short and stout[00:02:41]
Tip me over and pour me out[00:02:41]
And hello to all the people who sent me on the way[00:02:41]
A pat on the back for you. Have fun, it's your moment now[00:02:41]
It's your turn to walk along the runway road[00:02:41]
And me? I sent my better self on ahead.[00:02:41]
Your attention, please[00:02:41]
It's like at the end of the play and all the actors come out[00:02:41]
And they line up and they look at you...[00:02:41]
And horrible things have happened to them during the play[00:02:41]
And they stand there while you clap and now what?[00:02:41]
What happens next?[00:02:41]
And the fire dies and there were furious winds where he went[00:02:41]
We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hey[00:02:41]
We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hey[00:02:41]
It's another blue day in a nowhere place[00:02:41]
We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hey[00:02:41]
I'm a little teapot short and stout[00:02:41]
Tip me over and pour me out[00:02:41]
Oh beauty in all it's forms[00:02:41]
Funny how hatred can also be a beautiful thing[00:02:41]
When it's as sharp as a knife[00:02:41]
As hard as a diamond[00:02:41]
Perfect.[00:02:41]
