Tightrope - Laurie Anderson

Last night I dreamed I died

And that my life had been rearranged into some kind of theme park

And all my friends were walking up and down the boardwalk

And my dead grandmother was selling cottc candy

Out of a little shack

And there was this big ferris wheel about a half mile out in the ocean

Half in and half out of the water

And all my old boyfriends were on it

With their new girlfriends

And the boys were waving and shouting

And the girls were saying eeek

Then they disappeared under the surface of the water

And when they came up

They were laughing and gasping for breath

His dream I'm on a tightrope

And I'm tipping back and forth trying to keep my balance

And below me are all my relatives and if I fall I'll crush them this long thin line

This song line

They shouted

The only thing that binds me to the turning world below

And to all the people and noise and sounds and shouts

This tightrope made of sound this long thin line made of my own blood

Remember me is all I ask

And if remembered be a task forget me

Remember me is all I ask

And if remembered be a task forget me

This long thin line

This long thin line this long thin line

This tightrope

Remember me is all I ask and if remembered

Be a task forget me

This long thin line

This long thin line

This long thin line

This tightrope made of sound
