Laurie Anderson - Yankee See lyrics

[Laurie Anderson - Yankee See lyrics]

Well I had a dream and in it I was teaching
Cave people how to use
Blenders and toasters i
Drive up to the cave in my car hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey in my car
And there they are banging their
Heads against the walls
Of the cave and I say: Hey folks! Listen
You're doing it the hard way lemme show you
A thing or two one two three four

Well I was trying to think of
Something to tell you about myself
And I came across this brochure they're
Handing out in the lobby
And it says everything I wanted
To say -only better
It says: Laurie Anderson
In her epic performance
Of United States Parts 1 through 4
Has been baffling audiences for
Years with her special
Blend of music slides films tapes films
(did I say films?) hand gestures and more hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey! (Much more)

Let's take a look around the stage at what
We like to call The System -ie
The highly sophisticated
(very expensive) state-of-the-art gadgetry
With which i cast my spell
Now let me tell you something: this
Stuff does not grow on trees

Well I was out in LA
Recently on music business
And I was just sitting there in the office
Filling them in on some of my goals
And I said: Listen
I've got a vision i see myself
As part of a long
Tradition of American humor you
Know -Bugs Bunny, daffy Duck, Porky Pig
Elmer Fudd, Roadrunner, yosemite Sam
And they said "Well actually
We had something a little more adult in mind"
And I said: "OK! OK! Listen, I can adapt!"
Lucy I'm home lucy, I'm home!
LUCY? I'm home!
I wonder what happened to her?
