laurie anderson - same time tomorrow [the ugly one with the jewels] lyrics

Loading...

you know that little clock
the one on your vcr
the one that’s always blinking twelve noon
’cause you never figured out
how to get in there and change it?
so it’s always the same time
just the way it came from the factory
good morning
good night
same time tomorrow
we’re in record
ooohaaa
ooohaaa

so here are the questions
is time long or is it wide?
and the answers?
sometimes the answers just come in the mail
and one day you get that letter
you’ve been waiting for forever
and everything it says is true
and then in the last line
it says: burn this
ooohaaa
ooohaaa
ooohaaa

and i what i really want to know is
are things getting better
or are they getting worse?

stop, stop. pause, pause. we’re in record

because these stories
that we have remembered
and most of them never even get written down
and so when they say things like
“we’re gonna do this by the book,”
you have to ask “what book?,”
because it would make a big difference
if it was dostoyevsky or just
you know, ivanhoe
ooohaaa
ooohaaa

i remember where i came from;
there were burning buildings
and a fiery red sea
i remember all my lovers
i remember how they held me
ooohaaa
ooohaaa

east, east. the edge of the world
west, west. those who came before me

we’re in record

ooohaaa

come here little girl
get into the car
it’s a brand new cadillac
bright red
come here little girl
ooohaaa
ooohaaa

when my father died we put him in the ground
when my father died it was
like a whole library had burned down

stop, stop. pause, pause

ooohaaa
ooohaaa

same time tomorrow

and wild beasts shall rest there
and owls shall answer one another there
and the hairy ones shall dance there
and sirens in the temples of pleasure

speak my language

good night
