Laurie Anderson - Closed Circuits lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - Closed Circuits lyrics]
Well I know who you are, baby
I've seen you go into that meditative state
You're the snake charmer, baby
And you're also the snake
You're a closed circuit, baby
You've got the answers in the
Palms of your hands
Well I saw a blind Judge
And he said: I know who you are
And I said: Who?
And he said: You're a closed circuit, baby
He said: The world is divided
Into two kinds of things
There's luck, and there's the law
There's a knock on wood that says: IT MIGHT
And there's the long arm of the
Law that says: IT'S RIGHT
And it's a tricky balancing act between the
Two because both are equally true
'Cause might makes right
And anything could happen che sarà
Sarà am I right? Who? Do who? do
Who do you love?
Well I saw a couple of hula
Dancers just hula-ing down the street
And they said: Well I wonder which way
The tide is gonna roll tonight?
And I said: Hey hold up hula dancers!
You know the tide's gonna roll out
And then it's gonna roll right back in again
'Cause it's a closed circuit
Baby we got rules for that kind of thing
And you know the moon is so bright tonight
Who? Do who? Do and don't think I haven't
Seen all those blind
A rabs around i've seen 'em around
And I've watched them charm that oil
Right out of the ground
Long black streams of that
Dark electric light
And they said: One day the sun went
Down and it went way down, into the ground
And three thousand years go by and we
Pump it right back up again
'Cause it's a closed circuit, baby
We can change the dark into
The light and vice versa
Well I know who you are, baby
I've watched you count yourself to sleep
You're the shepherd, baby
And you're also one, two
Three hundred sheep i've watched
You fall asleep
Well I was up real late last night
Must have just dropped off to sleep
'Cause, I saw you were crying, baby
You were crying in your sleep
You're the snake charmer
Baby and you're also a very long snake
You're a closed circuit, baby
You've got the answers in the
Palms of your hands
I've seen you go into that meditative state
You're the snake charmer, baby
And you're also the snake
You're a closed circuit, baby
You've got the answers in the
Palms of your hands
Well I saw a blind Judge
And he said: I know who you are
And I said: Who?
And he said: You're a closed circuit, baby
He said: The world is divided
Into two kinds of things
There's luck, and there's the law
There's a knock on wood that says: IT MIGHT
And there's the long arm of the
Law that says: IT'S RIGHT
And it's a tricky balancing act between the
Two because both are equally true
'Cause might makes right
And anything could happen che sarà
Sarà am I right? Who? Do who? do
Who do you love?
