Laurie Anderson - A Different World lyrics

I remember the first time I realised
That some people live in
Different worlds i'd be walking to
School, and I'd look up
And there was Moses hanging by
His tool belt every
Day – no matter what the weather – Moses
Would climb up the telephone poles
And attach his belt to
Them and open the phone boxes
And move the lines
Around sometimes he'd take out his
Tools and do some hammering
In the winter, you could see him really well
Outlined against the bright sky hammering and
Spinning round and round up there

Now, Moses did not work for
The phone company he just
Lived in another world a kind of dream world
Of trees and circuit's and electronics but
Everyone in town made a point of thanking
Him for fixing their phones the
Men would be walking home from the
Train station in the evening
And they'd yell "Hey Moe! Good job
On the phones! The reception on
My line is really great now nice
Job clear thanks a lot!"
