《Speechless》歌词

[00:00:00] Speechless - laurie anderson

[00:00:13] It was August Summer of `82

[00:00:22] You had that rusty old car

[00:00:25] And me I had nothing better to do

[00:00:33] You picked me up We hit the road Baby me and you

[00:00:43] We shot out of town drivin` fast and hard

[00:00:50] Leaving our greasy skid marks in people`s back yards

[00:00:58] We were goin` nowhere Just driving around

[00:01:07] We were goin` in circles And me I was just hanging on

[00:01:20] Like in that Annie Dillard book

[00:01:23] Where she sees that eagle with the skull of a weasel

[00:01:28] Hanging from its neck

[00:01:29] And here`s how it happened listen

[00:01:32] Eagle bites the weasel Weasel bites back

[00:01:46] They fly up to nowhere Weasel keeps hangin` on

[00:01:58] Together forever

[00:02:07] We were goin` nowhere Just driving around

[00:02:14] You did all the talking and me I didn`t make a sound

[00:02:23] If I open my mouth now I`ll fall to the ground

[00:02:32] If I could open my mouth There`s so much I would say

[00:02:38] Like I can never be honest Like I`m in it for the thrill

[00:02:44] Like I never loved anyone And I never will

[00:02:52] Eagle bites the weasel Weasel bites back

[00:03:04] They fly up to nowhere Weasel keeps hangin` on

[00:03:16] Together forever

[00:03:23] I remember that old coat my grandma used to wear

[00:03:34] Made of weasels biting each other`s tails

[00:03:41] A vicious circle An endless ride

[00:03:48] On the back of an old woman

[00:03:52] Eagle bites the weasel Weasel bites back

[00:04:04] They fly up to nowhere Weasel keeps hangin` on

[00:04:16] Together forever

[00:04:29] And me I`m goin` in circles I`m circling around

[00:04:43] And if I open my mouth now I`ll fall to the ground
