Versurile Laurie Anderson - The End Of The World
Versuri The End Of The World
— Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to
London Laurie Anderson.
Ooooaaaah!
Ooooaaaah!
Hi. This evening I̢۪ll be reading from a book I
just finished and since a lot of it is about the
future, I̢۪m going to start more or less on the
last page, and tell you about my grandmother. Now
she was a Southern Baptist Holy Ruler and she had
a very clear idea about the future, and of how the
world would end.
— In fire.
In fire.
— Like in Revelations.
Like in Revelations.
And when I was ten my grandmother told me the
world would end in a year. So I spent the whole
year praying and reading the Bible and alienating
all my friends and relatives. And finally the big
day came. And absolutely nothing happened. Just
another day.
Ooooaaaah!
Now my grandmother was a missionary and she had
heard that the largest religion in the world was
Buddhism. So she decided to go to Japan to convert
Buddhists.
— And to inform them about the end of the
world.
And to inform them about the end of the world.
And she didn̢۪t speak Japanese. So she tried to
convert them with a combination of hand gestures,
sign language and hymns, in English.
Ooooaaaah!
The Japanese had absolutely no idea what she was
trying to get at. And when she got back to the
United States she was still talking about the end
of the world. And I remember the day she died. She
was very excited. She was like a small bird
perched on the edge of her bed near the window in
the hospital. Waiting to die. And she was wearing
these pink nightgowns and combing her hair so
she̢۪d look pretty for the big moment when Christ
came to get her.
Ooooaaaah!
And she wasn̢۪t afraid but then, just at the
very last minute something happened that changed
everything. Because suddenly, at the very last
minute she panicked. After a whole life of praying
and predicting the end of the world, she panicked.
And she panicked because she couldn̢۪t decide
whether or not to wear a hat.
Ooooaaaah!
And so when she died she went into the future in
a panic with absolutely no idea of what would be
next.
