One Beautiful Evening - Laurie Anderson[00:00:00]
One beautiful evening in the garden on Eden[00:00:06]
A snake came walking in the twilight[00:00:13]
He was leaning on his ivory cane[00:00:16]
And he said let me tell you a little secret about life[00:00:20]
There's a certain sharpness to a knife or a diamond[00:00:27]
Come here watch it glitter[00:00:34]
Oh it's another blue day in a nowhere place[00:00:39]
We're singin' hey hey nonny hay[00:00:45]
I'm a little teapot short and stout[00:00:50]
Tip me over and pour me out[00:00:56]
You know when the Egyptians built their steam trains[00:01:03]
They didn't have any fuel to burn no wood no trees anywhere[00:01:08]
But they did have a lot of old mummy rags lying around[00:01:15]
So the gathered up all the rags and burned them in their trains[00:01:23]
Yeah they burned their ancestors for fuel[00:01:29]
Ooo I'm a crocodile floating down the river[00:01:38]
I'm a tree catching my own oranges as they fall from my head[00:01:44]
I'm a little teapot short and stout[00:01:51]
Tip me over and pour me out[00:01:58]
And hello to all the people who sent me on the way[00:02:07]
A pat on the back for you have fun it's your moment now[00:02:10]
It's your turn to walk along the runway road[00:02:13]
And me I sent my better self on ahead[00:02:18]
Your attention please[00:02:24]
It's like at the end of the play and all the actors come out[00:02:40]
And they line up and they look at you[00:02:44]
And horrible things have happened to them during the play[00:02:47]
And they stand there while you clap and now what[00:02:51]
What happens next[00:02:58]
And the fire dies and there were furious winds where he went[00:03:02]
We're singin' hey hey nonny hey[00:03:15]
We're singin' hey hey nonny hey[00:03:24]
It's another blue day in a nowhere place[00:03:30]
We're singin' hey hey nonny hey[00:03:34]
I'm a little teapot short and stout[00:04:00]
Tip me over and pour me out[00:04:06]
Oh beauty in all it's forms[00:04:27]
Funny how hatred can also be a beautiful thing[00:04:31]
When it's as sharp as a knife[00:04:36]
As hard as a diamond[00:04:39]
Perfect[00:04:46]
