Three Songs for Paper, Film and Video (Live) - Laurie Anderson
The detective novel is the only novel truly invented in
The twentieth century In the detective novel the hero
Is dead at the very beginning So you don't have to deal
With human nature at all Only the slow accumulation of
Facts of data
In science fiction the hero just flies in at the very
Beginning He can bend steel with his bare hands He can
Walk in zero gravity He can see right through lead doors
But no one asks how he is able to do these things They
Just say"Look He's walking in zero gravity" So you don't
Have to deal with human nature at all
When TV signals are sent out they don't stop They keep going
They pick up speed as they leave the solar system By now
The first TV programs ever made have been traveling for thirty
Years They are well beyond our solar system now All those
Characters from cowboy serials variety hours and quiz shows
Are sailing out They are the first true voyagers into deep
Space And they sail farther and farther our intact still talking
And as we listen with our instruments as we learn to listen
Farther and farther into space we can hear them We listen
Farther and that is all we hear They are jamming our lines
We listen and we hear them talking traveling going faster
And faster getting fainter and fainter And as our instruments
Become more sophisticated we can hear them better speeding
Away the sound of speeding away like a phone continuously
Ringing
