Sharkey's Night Songtext
von Laurie Anderson

Sun′s going down. Like a big bald head.
Disappearing behind the boulevard. (Oooee.) It's Sharkey′s night.
Yeah. It's Sharkey's night tonight. And the manager says: Sharkey?
He′s not at his desk right now. (oh yeah.) Could I take a message?


And Sharkey says: Hey, kemosabe! Long time no see.
He says: Hey sport. You connect the dots. You pick up the pieces.
Hey says: You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself
And there′s one in each of your eyes. And they're doin′ everything I do.
Every time I light a cigarett, they light up theirs.
I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin′ too.
It's drivin′ me crazy. It's drivin' me nuts.

And Sharkey says: Deep in the heart of darkest America.
Home of the brave. He says: Listen to my heart beat.
Paging Mr. Sharkey. What courtesy telephone please.
