Laurie Anderson - The Night Flight From Houston lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - The Night Flight From Houston lyrics]
It was the night flight from Houston
Almost perfect visibility
You could see the lights from all
The little Texas towns far below
And I was sitting
Next to a fifty-two year old woman who
Had never been on a plane before
And her son had sent her a ticket and said:
"Mom, you've raised ten kids it's time
You got on a plane"
She was sitting in a window seat staring out
And she kept talking about the Big Dipper and
That Little Dipper and pointing -and suddenly
I realized that she thought we were in
Outer space looking down at the stars
And I said: "You know
I think those lights down there are
The lights from little towns"
Almost perfect visibility
You could see the lights from all
The little Texas towns far below
And I was sitting
Next to a fifty-two year old woman who
Had never been on a plane before
And her son had sent her a ticket and said:
"Mom, you've raised ten kids it's time
You got on a plane"
She was sitting in a window seat staring out
And she kept talking about the Big Dipper and
That Little Dipper and pointing -and suddenly
I realized that she thought we were in
Outer space looking down at the stars
And I said: "You know
I think those lights down there are
The lights from little towns"
