The Night Flight From Houston (Live) - Laurie Anderson

It was the night flight from Houston

Almost perfect visibility

You could see the lights from all

The little Texas towns far below

And I was sitting next to a fifty-year old woman

Who had never been on a plane before

And her son had sent her a ticket and said:

Mom you've raised ten kids;

It's time you got on a plane

And she was sitting in a window seat staring out

And she kept talking about the Big Dipper

And that Little Dipper and pointing;

And suddenly I realized that she thought we

Were in outer space looking down at the stars

And I said:

You know I think those lights down

There are the lights from little towns
