Laurie Anderson - Pieces and Parts[00:03:43]
They say that in 1842 on a plantation in Alabama[00:03:43]
The slaves unearthed a huge skeleton,[00:03:43]
The bones of a giant whale,[00:03:43]
A leviathan,[00:03:43]
From the time when all the world was covered with water[00:03:43]
From the andes to the himalayas[00:03:43]
And even alabama was deep down under.[00:03:43]
And the slaves looked at the huge bones and they said:[00:03:43]
These must be the bones of a fallen angel[00:03:43]
These must be the bones of a fallen angel[00:03:43]
Out on the ocean, out of the water[00:03:43]
We look for signs of him[00:03:43]
He looks like a giant snow hill, a fountain[00:03:43]
Then he disappears. He's a speck on the horizon[00:03:43]
We see him only in parts[00:03:43]
The flash of a tail, his beating heart.[00:03:43]
He's in pieces and parts.[00:03:43]
It's easier for a camel to slide through the eye of a needle[00:03:43]
Than to find a whale who hides at the bottom of the ocean[00:03:43]
It's easier to sail around the world in a coffee cup[00:03:43]
Than to see a whale when he comes rising up[00:03:43]
We see him only in parts[00:03:43]
A fountain, fins, a speck on the horizon[00:03:43]
Giant teeth, an open mouth[00:03:43]
Look out, look out, look out, look out[00:03:43]
So hit an elephant with a dart[00:03:43]
And he just reaches around and pulls it out with his trunk[00:03:43]
But hit a whale in the hear and the whole ocean turns red,[00:03:43]
It turns red.[00:03:43]
We see him only in parts[00:03:43]
The flash of a tail, his beating heart[00:03:43]
He's in pieces and parts[00:03:43]
So get hit in your head[00:03:43]
And there may be a few things you can't recall at all[00:03:43]
But you get hit in your heart[00:03:43]
And you're in pieces and parts[00:03:43]
Pieces and parts.[00:03:43]
