《Pieces and Parts》歌词

[00:00:00] Pieces and Parts - Laurie Anderson

[00:00:02] They say that in 1842 on a plantation in Alabama

[00:00:08] The slaves unearthed a huge skeleton

[00:00:12] The bones of a giant whale

[00:00:15] A leviathan

[00:00:17] From the time when all the world was covered with water

[00:00:22] From the andes to the himalayas

[00:00:26] And even Alabama was deep down under

[00:00:32] And the slaves looked at the huge bones and they said

[00:00:39] These must be the bones of a fallen angel

[00:00:44] These must be the bones of a fallen angel

[00:00:51] Out on the ocean out of the water

[00:00:56] We look for signs of him

[00:01:01] He looks like a giant snow hill a fountain

[00:01:05] Then he disappears

[00:01:07] He's a speck on the horizon

[00:01:12] We see him only in parts

[00:01:17] The flash of a tail his beating heart

[00:01:21] He's in pieces and parts

[00:01:28] It's easier for a camel

[00:01:31] To slide through the eye of a needle

[00:01:38] Than to find a whale who hides at

[00:01:43] The bottom of the ocean

[00:01:48] It's easier to sail around the world in a coffee cup

[00:01:58] Than to see a whale when he comes rising up

[00:02:06] We see him only in parts

[00:02:10] A fountain fins a speck on the horizon

[00:02:15] Giant teeth an open mouth

[00:02:20] Look out look out look out look out

[00:02:26] So hit an Elephant with a dart

[00:02:30] And he just reaches around and pulls

[00:02:33] It out with his trunk

[00:02:36] But hit a whale in the hear and

[00:02:40] The whole ocean turns red

[00:02:43] It turns red

[00:02:45] We see him only in parts

[00:02:50] The flash of a tail his beating heart

[00:02:54] He's in pieces and parts

[00:03:04] So get hit in your head

[00:03:07] And there may be a few things you can't recall at all

[00:03:15] But you get hit in your heart

[00:03:18] And you're in pieces and parts

[00:03:23] Pieces and parts
