Pieces and Parts - Laurie Anderson[00:00:00]
They say that in 1842 on a plantation in Alabama[00:00:02]
The slaves unearthed a huge skeleton[00:00:08]
The bones of a giant whale[00:00:12]
A leviathan[00:00:15]
From the time when all the world was covered with water[00:00:17]
From the andes to the himalayas[00:00:22]
And even Alabama was deep down under[00:00:26]
And the slaves looked at the huge bones and they said[00:00:32]
These must be the bones of a fallen angel[00:00:39]
These must be the bones of a fallen angel[00:00:44]
Out on the ocean out of the water[00:00:51]
We look for signs of him[00:00:56]
He looks like a giant snow hill a fountain[00:01:01]
Then he disappears[00:01:05]
He's a speck on the horizon[00:01:07]
We see him only in parts[00:01:12]
The flash of a tail his beating heart[00:01:17]
He's in pieces and parts[00:01:21]
It's easier for a camel[00:01:28]
To slide through the eye of a needle[00:01:31]
Than to find a whale who hides at[00:01:38]
The bottom of the ocean[00:01:43]
It's easier to sail around the world in a coffee cup[00:01:48]
Than to see a whale when he comes rising up[00:01:58]
We see him only in parts[00:02:06]
A fountain fins a speck on the horizon[00:02:10]
Giant teeth an open mouth[00:02:15]
Look out look out look out look out[00:02:20]
So hit an Elephant with a dart[00:02:26]
And he just reaches around and pulls[00:02:30]
It out with his trunk[00:02:33]
But hit a whale in the hear and[00:02:36]
The whole ocean turns red[00:02:40]
It turns red[00:02:43]
We see him only in parts[00:02:45]
The flash of a tail his beating heart[00:02:50]
He's in pieces and parts[00:02:54]
So get hit in your head[00:03:04]
And there may be a few things you can't recall at all[00:03:07]
But you get hit in your heart[00:03:15]
And you're in pieces and parts[00:03:18]
Pieces and parts[00:03:23]
