Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson - Hiawatha lyrics

By the shining Big- Sea- Water

Downward through the evening twilight

In the days that are forgotten

>From the land of sky blue waters

And I said: Hello Operator

Get me Memphis Tennessee

And she said: I know who you're tryin

to call darlin And he's not home

he's been away

But you can hear him on the airwaves

He's howlin at the moon

Yeah this is your country station

And honey this next one's for you.

And all along the highways

and under the big western sky

They're singing Ooo oooooo

They're singing Wild Blue.

And way out on the prairie

and up in the high chaparral

They hear a voice it says: Good evening

This is Captain Midnight speaking

And I've got a song for you

Goes somethin like this:

Starlight Starbright

We're gonna hang some new stars

in the heavens tonight.

They're gonna circle by day

They're gonna fly by night

We're goin sky high. Yoo Hooooo hooo.

Yeah yoo hooo Ooo Hooooooooo

So good night ladies

And good night gentlemen

Keep those cards and letters coming

And please don't call again.

Geronimo and little Nancy

Marilyn and John F. dancing

Uncle took the message

and it's written on the wall.

These are pictures of the houses

Shining in the midnight moonlight

While the King sings Love Me Tender.

And all along the watchtowers

aand under the big western sky

They're singing Yoo Hooooo

They're singing Wild Blue.

And wau wau up there, bursting in air

Red rockets, bright red glare

>From the land of sky blue waters

Sent by freedom's sons and daughters.

We're singing Ooo Hoooooooo

We're singing Wild Blue.

We're singing Ooo Hoooooooo

Ooo Hooooooooo

And dark behind it rose the forest

Rose the black and gloomy pine trees

Rose the firs with ones upon them

And bright before it beat the water

Beat the clear and sunny water

Beat the shing Big- Sea- Water
