laurie anderson - the dream before lyrics
for walter benjamin)
hansel and gretel are alive and well
and they’re living in berlin
she is a c-cktail waitress
he had a part in a f-ssbinder film
and they sit around at night now
drinking schnapps and gin
and she says: hansel, you’re really bringing me down
and he says: gretel, yu can really be a b-tch
he says: i’ve wated my life on our stupid legend
when my one and only love
was the wicked witch.
she said: what is history?
and he said: history is an angel
being blown backwards into the future
he said: history is a pile of debris
and the angel wants to go back and fix things
to repair the things that have been broken
but there is a storm blowing from paradise
and the storm keeps blowing the angel
backwards into the future
and this storm, this storm
is called
progress
