Laurie Anderson - One Beautiful Evening слова песни
One beautiful evening in the garden on EdenA snake came walking in the twilightHe was leaning on his ivory caneAnd he said, let me tell you a little secret about lifeThere`s a certain sharpness to a knife, or a diamondCome here, Watch it glitterOh it`s another blue day in a nowhere placeWe`re singin` hey, hey, nonny, hayI`m a little teapot short and stoutTip me over and pour me outYou know when the Egyptians built their steam trainsThey didn`t have any fuel to burn - no wood, no trees anywhere.But they did have a lot of old mummy rags lying aroundSo the gathered up all the rags and burned them in their trainsYeah, they burned their ancestors for fuel.Ooo, I`m a crocodile floating down the riverI`m a tree catching my own oranges as they fall from my headI`m a little teapot short and stoutTip me over and pour me outAnd hello to all the people who sent me on the wayA pat on the back for you. Have fun, it`s your moment nowIt`s your turn to walk along the runway roadAnd me? I sent my better self on ahead.Your attention, pleaseIt`s like at the end of the play and all the actors come outAnd they line up and they look at you...And horrible things have happened to them during the playAnd they stand there while you clap and now what?What happens next?And the fire dies and there were furious winds where he wentWe`re singin` hey, hey, nonny, heyWe`re singin` hey, hey, nonny, heyIt`s another blue day in a nowhere placeWe`re singin` hey, hey, nonny, heyI`m a little teapot short and stoutTip me over and pour me outOh beauty in all it`s formsFunny how hatred can also be a beautiful thingWhen it`s as sharp as a knifeAs hard as a diamondPerfect.
