Laurie Anderson - The Dream Before lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - The Dream Before lyrics]
And they're living in Berlin
She is a cocktail waitress
He had a part in a Fassbinder film
And they sit around at night now
Drinking schnapps and gin
And she says, 'Hansel
You're really bringing me down'
And he says, 'Gretel
You can really be a bitch'
He says
I've wasted my life on our stupid legend
When my one and only love
Was the wicked witch
She said, What is history?
And he said, History is an angel being blown
Backwards into the future
He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there is a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards into the future
And this storm, this storm is called
Progress
