Sharkey’s Day Laurie Anderson

Sun's coming up. Like a big bald head
Poking up over the grocery store
It's Sharkey's day. It's Sharkey's day today
Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says:
There was this man... And there was this road...
And if only I could remember these dreams..
I know they're trying to tell me...something
Ooooeee. Strange dreams. (Strange dreams). Oh yeah

And Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again And it's love
Oh yeah. Strange dreams
And the little girls sing: Oooeee Sharkey
And the manager says: Mr. Sharkey? He's not at his desk right now. Could I take a message?
And the little girls sing: Oooeee Sharkey. He's Mister Heartbreak
They sing: Oooeee Sharkey. Yeah. He's Mister Heartbreak

And Sharkey says: All of nature talks to me
If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me. Listen!
Trees are swinging in the breeze. They're talking to me
Insects are rubbing their legs together
They're all talking. They're talking to me. And short animals--
They're bucking up on their hind legs. Talking. Talking to me
Hey! Look out! Bugs are crawling up my legs!
You know? I'd rather see this on TV. Tones it down
And Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name
