Walk the Dog

Walk The Dog - Laurie Anderson

I saw a lot of trees today and they were all made of wood

They were wooden trees and they were made entirely of wood

I cam home today and you were all on fire

Your shirt was on fire and your hair was on fire

And flames were licking all around your feet

And I did not know what to do

And then a thousand violins began to play

And I really did not know what to do then

So I just decided to go out and walk the dog

I went to the movies and I saw a dog thirty feet high

And this dog was made entirely of light

And he filled up the whole screen

And his eyes were long hallways

He had those long echoing hallway eyes

I turned on the radio and I heard a song by Dolly Parton

And she was singing:

Oh I feel so bad I feel so sad

I left my mom and I left my dad

And I just want to go home now

I just want to go back in my Tennessee mountain home now

Well you know she's not gonna go back home

And I know she's not gonna go back home

And she knows she's never gonna go back there

And I just want to know who's gonna go and walk her dog her dog

Well I feel so bad I feel so sad

But not as bad as the night I wrote this song

Close your eyes (OK)

Now imagine you're at the most wonderful party (OK)

Delicious food (Uh huh )

Interesting people (Mm hmm )

Terrific music (Mn hmmh )

Now open them
