Laurie Anderson - The Big Top lyrics

[Laurie Anderson - The Big Top lyrics]

When Buckminster Fuller came to Canada
He kept asking the same question:
"Have you ever really considered how
Much your buildings weigh?"
The Canadians took this very seriously
(Hey, we never thought of that)
He showed them plans for domed
Cities, cities with no basements
No foundations
Cities that could be moved in a minute
Portable cities portable towns

He said think of it as camping out
Think of it as one big tent he said:
Think of it as
The Big Top spinning lightweight portable
He said: Think of it as the Big Top
Spinning lightweight
Flyaway

He said: Think of it as the
Big Top
