Laurie Anderson - Sharkey's Day lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - Sharkey's Day lyrics]
Sun's coming up like a big bald head
Poking up over the grocery store
It's Sharkey's day it's Sharkey's day today
Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says:
There was this man and there was this road
And if only I could remember these dreams
I know they're trying to tell mesomething
O-o-o-oeee strange dreams
(Strange dreams) oh yeah
And Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again And it's love
Oh yeah strange dreams
And the little girls sing: Oooeee Sharkey
And the manager says: Mr sharkey?
He's not at his
Desk right now could I take a message?
And the little girls sing: Oooeee
Sharkey he's Mister Heartbreak
They sing: Oooeee Sharkey yeah
He's Mister Heartbreak
And Sharkey says: All of nature talks to me
If I could just figure out what it
Was trying to tell me listen!
Trees are swinging in the breeze
They're talking to me
Insects are rubbing their legs together
They're all talking they're talking to
Me and short animals -
They're bucking up on their hind
Legs talking talking to me
Hey! Look out! Bugs are crawling up my legs!
You know? I'd rather see this
On TV tones it down and Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me nobody knows my name
And Sharkey says:
All night long I think of those
Little planes up there flying around
You can't even see them they're specks!
And they're full of tiny people going places
And Sharkey says: You know? I
Bet they could all land on the head of a pin
And the little girls
Sing: O-o-o-oeee sharkey!
He's Mister Heartbreak
They sing: Oooee that Sharkey!
He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake
He's a whole landscape
Gone to seed he's gone wild!
He's screeching tires
On an oil slick at midnight on the
Road to Boston a long time ago
And Sharkey says:
Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER!
At the beginning of the movie
They know they have to find each other
But they ride off in opposite directions
Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me nobody knows my name
Ya know? They're growing mechanical trees
They grow to their full height and
Then they chop themselves down
Sharkey says:
All of life comes from some strange lagoon
It rises up, it bucks up to it's full height
From a boggy swamp on a foggy night
It creeps into your house
It's life! It's life!
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me nobody knows my name
Deep in the heart of darkest
America home of the brave
Ha! Ha! Ha! You've already paid for
This listen to my heart beat
And the little girls sing:
Oooeee Sharkey he's a slow dance
On the edge of the lake they sing:
O-o-o-oeeee sharkey he's Mister Heartbreak
Paging Mr sharkey white
Courtesy telephone please
And Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
And the little girls sing:
O-o-o-oeee Sharkey yeah
On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow
That's where I wanna, that's where I'm gonna
That's where I'm gonna go
Poking up over the grocery store
It's Sharkey's day it's Sharkey's day today
Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says:
There was this man and there was this road
And if only I could remember these dreams
I know they're trying to tell mesomething
