 LAURIE ANDERSON - Sharkey's Night Lyrics

Sun's going down.
Like a big bald head.
Disappearing behind the boulevard.
[Oooeee.

] 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.
He says: You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself And there's one in each of you eyes.
And they're doin' everything I do.
Every time I light a cigarette, 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.

White courtesy telephone please.
