Laurie Anderson
Speechless

It was August. Summer of '82.
You had that rusty old car
And me I had nothing better to do.
You picked me up. We hit the road. Baby me and you.

We shot out of town drivin' fast and hard.
Leaving our greasy skid marks in people's back yards.
We were goin' nowhere. Just driving around.
We were goin' in circles. And me I was just hanging on.

Like in that Annie Dillard book
Where she sees that eagle with the skull of a weasel
Hanging from its neck
And here's how it happened, listen.
Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Together forever.

We were goin' nowhere. Just driving around.
You did all the talking and me I didn't make a sound
If I open my mouth now I'll fall to the ground

If I could open my mouth. There's so much I would say.
Like I can never be honest. Like I'm in it for the thrill.
Like I never loved anyone. And I never will.

Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Together forever.

I remember that old coat my grandma used to wear
Made of weasels biting each other's tails
A vicious circle. An endless ride.
On the back of an old woman.

Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Together forever.
And me? I'm goin' in circles. I'm circling around.
And if I open my mouth now I'll fall to the ground.


Mirror lyrics:

And if I open my mouth now I'll fall to the ground.
And me? I'm goin' in circles. I'm circling around.
Together forever.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.

On the back of an old woman.
A vicious circle. An endless ride.
Made of weasels biting each other's tails
I remember that old coat my grandma used to wear

Together forever.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.

Like I never loved anyone. And I never will.
Like I can never be honest. Like I'm in it for the thrill.
If I could open my mouth. There's so much I would say.

If I open my mouth now I'll fall to the ground
You did all the talking and me I didn't make a sound
We were goin' nowhere. Just driving around.

Together forever.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
And here's how it happened, listen.
Hanging from its neck
Where she sees that eagle with the skull of a weasel
Like in that Annie Dillard book

We were goin' in circles. And me I was just hanging on.
We were goin' nowhere. Just driving around.
Leaving our greasy skid marks in people's back yards.
We shot out of town drivin' fast and hard.

You picked me up. We hit the road. Baby me and you.
And me I had nothing better to do.
You had that rusty old car
It was August. Summer of '82.
