Say Hello (Live) - Laurie Anderson
A certain american religious
Sect has been looking at conditions
Of the world during the flood
According to their calculations
During the flood the winds
Tides and currents
Were in an overall southeasterly direction
This would mean that in order for noah's
Ark to have ended up on mount ararat
It would have to have started out several
Thousand miles to the west
This would then locate
Pre-flood civilization in the area
Of upstate new york
And the garden of eden
Roughly in new york city
Now in order to get
From one place to another
Something must move
No one in new york remembers moving
And there are no traces of
Biblical history in the
Upstate new york area
So we are led to the only
Available conclusion in this time warp
And that is that the
Ark has simply not left yet
Let's compare this situation
To a familiar occurrence:
You're driving
And it's dark and it's raining
And you took a turn back there
But you're not sure
Was the right turn
But you took the turn anyway
And you just keep
Going in this direction
Eventually it starts to get light and
You look out and you realize
You have absolutely no
Idea where you are
So you get out at the
Next gas station and you say:
Hello excuse me
Can you tell me where I am
You can read the signs
You've been on this road before
Do you want to go home
Do you want to go home now
Hello excuse me
Can you tell me where I am
In our country
This is the way we say hello
It is a diagram of movement
Between two points
It is a sweep on the dial
In our country
This is also the way we say goodbye
Say hello
Hello excuse me
Can you tell me where I am
In our country
This is also the way we say goodbye
You just show time
For last night
You were here
But I walked up in the morning
You were gone
In our country
Goodbye looks just like hello
Say hello
Hello excuse me
Can you tell me where i am
In our country
We send pictures of people speaking
Our sign language in outer space
We are speaking our
Sign language in these pictures
Do you think that
They will think his arm is permanently
Attached in this position
Oh do you think
They will read our signs
In our country
Goodbye looks just like hello
Say hello
Say hello
Say hello
