The Visitors (Live) - Laurie Anderson

Lyrics by:Laurie Anderson

A group of American minimal artists were on a goodwill trip to China Near the end of their visit they stopped in a remote province where few Americans had ever gone One of the Chinese hosts seemed to be very confused about the United States He kept asking questions like"Is it true that Americans ride airplanes to work""Is it true that all your food is made in factories"

One of the artists was a conceptualist whose specialties was theories about information and truth He decided to try out one of his theories on the host

So when the host asked"Is it true you have robots in your houses" he said"Yes yeah We have lots of them It's true"

The host asked"Is it true that Americans live on the moon" The artist said"Yes it's true A lot of us live there In fact we go there all the time"

In this province however the word for moon was the same as the word for heaven The hosts were amazed that Americans traveled to heaven They were even more amazed that we were able to come back--that we went to heaven all the time

They look like us

They act like us

Remember us

They are not us
