Laurie Anderson - Dark Angel lyrics

A dark angel parachutes down
Into an abandoned town he says: Oh
I've been looking for a certain white clown
Doesn't look like you're it
But, you're the only one around
So I guess you'll have to do, He says
So anyway how are you doin'?

I say, Actually
I can't stand all the new machines
It's supposed to be all brand new
But it just looks the same he says: Oh
It looks like you're bored so try
This he says to me:
Why don't you get yourself an old beret
And why don't you find an old café?
And sit at a table and write something new
That's never been heard before

Or write your own manifesto that would do
Just make sure you use a pencil
So you can always get it you know right

Look at all the things I've bought
I can't believe what they cost
Just a lot of plastic and
Numbers on my credit card
I'm feeling kind of lost
The world that used to seem so small
I could wrap my arms around it
Now it seems so big and he said: Oh
From your pictures I guessed
That you were tall
But actually i gotta go now

It's a small world full of light
It's a small world full of light
But, I wouldn't want to have to paint it
