Laurie Anderson - Sharkey's Night lyrics

Sun's going down like a big bald head
Disappearing behind the boulevard
(Oooee) It's Sharkey's night, yeah
It's Sharkey's night tonight
And the manager says, "Sharkey?
He's not at his desk right now
(oh yeah) Could I take a message?"

And Sharkey says, "Hey
Kemosabe! Long time no see" he says
"Hey sport you connect the dots
You pick up the pieces" he says, "You know
I can see two tiny pictures of
Myself and there's one in
Each of your eyes and they're
Doin' everything I do
Every time I light a cigarette
They light up theirs
I take a drink and I look
In and they're drinkin' too
It's drivin' me crazy it's drivin' me nuts"
And Sharkey says, "Deep in the
Heart of darkest America, home of the brave"
He says: "Listen to my heart beat"
Paging Mr sharkey, white
Courtesy telephone please
