Laurie Anderson Sharkey's day Lyrics:
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 aagain And it's love. Oh
yeah. Strange dreams. And the little girls
sing:Oooee 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.
And Sharkey says: All night long I think of those
little planes up there. Flying around. UYou can't

even see them. They're specks! And they're full of
tiny people. Going places. And Sharkey says: You
know? I bet they could all land on the head of a
pin. And the little girls sing: Ooooeee. Sharkey!
He's Mister Heartbreak. They sing: Oooeee. That
Sharkey! He's a slow dance on the edge of the
lake. He's a whole landscape gone to seed. He's
gone wild! He's screeching tires on an oil slick
at midnight on the road to Boston a long time ago.
And Sharkey says: Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER!
At the beginning of the movie, they know they have
to find each other. But they ride off in opposite
directions. Sharkey says: I turn around, it's
fear. I turn around again, and it's love. Nobody
knows me. Nobody knows my name. You know? They're
growing mechanical trees. They grow to their full
height. And then they chop themselves down.
Sharkey says: All of life comes from some strange
lagoon. It rises up, it bucks up to it's full
height from a boggy swamp on a foggy night. It
creeps into your house. It's life! It's life! I
turn around, it's fear. I turn around again, and
it's love. Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name.
Deep in the heart of darkest America. Home of the
brave. Ha! Ha! Ha! You've already paid for this.
Listen to my heart beat. And the little girls
sing: Oooeee Sharkey. He's a slow dance on the
edge of the lake. They sing:Ooooeeee. Sharkey.
HEe's Mister Heartbreak. Paging Mr. Sharkey. White
courtesy telephone please. And Sharkey says: I
turn around, it's fear. I turn around again, and
it's love. And the little girls sing:Ooooeee
Sharkey. Yeah. On top of Old Smokey all covered
with snow. That's where I wanna, that's where I'm
gonna That's where I'm gonna go.
