Laurie Anderson – Sharkeys Night Lyrics

Read Time:44 Second

Suns going down. Like a big bald head.
Disappearing behind the boulevard. Oooee. Its Sharkeys night.
Yeah. Its Sharkeys night tonight. And the manager says Sharkey?
Hes 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 theres one in each of your eyes. And theyre doin everything I do.
Every time I light a cigarett, they light up theirs.
I take a drink and I look in and theyre drinkin too.
Its drivin me crazy. Its 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.
