Laurie Anderson - Hothead (La Langue D’Amour) lyrics

Let’s see uh it was on an
Island there was a snake and
This snake had legs and he could
Walk all around the island
Yes, that’s true a snake with legs
And the man and the woman were on the
Island too and they were not very smart
But they were happy as clams yes
Let’s see uh then one evening
The snake was walking
About in the garden and he was talking to
Himself and he saw the woman
And they started to
Talk and they became friends
VERY good friends
And the woman liked the snake very much
Because when he talked he made little
Noises with his tongue and his long tongue
Was lightly licking about his lips
Like there was a little fire inside his
Mouth and the flame would come
Dancing out of his mouth and the
Woman liked this very much
And after that she was bored with the
Man because no matter what happened
He was always as happy as a clam
What did the snake say?
Yes, what was he saying?
Ok what does he says? OK i will tell you
The snake told her things about the world
He told her about the time when
There was a big typhoon on
The island and all the sharks
Came out of the water
Yes, they came out of the water and they
Walked right into your house with their
Big white teeth and the woman heard these
Things and she was in love
And the man came out and said:
"We have to go now, " and the woman did not
Want to go because she
Was a hothead because she was a woman in love
Anyway, they got into their boat
And left the island
But they never stayed anywhere very long
Because the woman was restless
She was a hothead she was a woman in love
This is not a story my people
Tell it’s something I know myself
And when I do my job I
Am thinking about these things
Because when I do my job
That’s what I think about
