Smoke Rings - Laurie Anderson

Standby

You’re on the air

Buenos noches Senores y Senoras

Bienvenidos

La primera pregunta es: Que es mas macho, pineapple o knife?

Well, let’s see

My guess is that a pineapple is more macho than a knife

Si!

Correcto!

Pineapple es mas macho que knife

La segunda pregunta es: Que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus?

Uh, lightbulb?

No!

Lo siento, Schoolbus es mas macho que lightbulb

Gracias.

And we’ll be back in un momento

Well I had a dream and in it I went to a little town

And all the girls in town were named Betty

And they were singing: Doo doo doo doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo doo

Ah desire!

It’s cold as ice And then it’s hot as fire

Ah desire!

First it’s red And then it’s blue

And everytime I see an iceberg It reminds me of you

Doo doo doo doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo doo

Que es mas macho iceberg or volcano?

Get the blanket from the bedroom

We can go walking once again

Down in the bayou

Where our sweet love first began

I’m thinking back to when I was a child —

Way back to when I was a tot

When I was an embryo —

A tiny speck.

Just a dot

When I was a Hershey bar —

In my father’s back pocket

Hey look!

Over there!

It’s Frank Sinatra Sitting in a chair

And he’s blowing Perfect smoke rings Up into the air

And he’s singing: Smoke makes a staircase for you To descend

So rare

Ah desire!

Ah desire!

Ah desire!

So random So rare

And everytime

I see those smoke rings

I think you’re there

Que es mas macho staircase o smoke rings?

Get the blanket from the bedroom

We can go walking once again

Down in the boondocks

Where our sweet love first began

Ooo I’m gonna follow you

Out in the swamps and into town

Down under the boardwalk

Track you down

Doo doo doo doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo doo
