Language Is a Virus from Outer Space - Live
de Laurie Anderson
Paradise 
Is exactly like 
Where you are right now 
Only much much better. 
I saw this guy on the train 
And he seemed to gave gotten stuck 
In one of those abstract trances. 
And he was going: Ugh...Ugh...Ugh... 
And Fred said: I think he's in some kind of pain. I think it's a pain cry. 
And I said: Pain cry? 
Then language is a virus. 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Well I was talking to a friend 
And I was saying: I wanted you. 
And I was looking for you. 
But I couldn't find you. 
I couldn't find you. 
And he said: Hey! 
Are you talking to me? 
Or are you just practicing 
For one of those performances of yours? 
Huh? 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
He said: I had to write that letter to your mother. 
And I had to tell the judge that it was you. 
And I had to sell the car and go to Florida. Because that's just my way of saying 
(It's a charm.) 
That I love you. 
And I (It's a job.) 
Had to call you at the crack of dawn (Why?) 
And list the times that I've been wrong. 
Cause that's just my way of saying 
That I'm sorry. (It's a job.) 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Paradise 
Is exactly like 
Where you are right now 
Only much much (It's a shipwreck,) 
Better. (It's a job.) 
You know? 
I don't believe there's such a thing as TV. 
I mean - They just keep showing you 
The same pictures over and over. 
And when they talk they just make sounds 
That more or less synch up 
With their lips. 
That's what I think! 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Language! 
It's a virus! 
Well I dreamed there was an island 
That rose up from the sea. 
And everybody on the island 
Was somebody from TV. 
And there was a beautiful view 
But nobody could see. 
Cause everybody on the island 
Was saying: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! 
Because they all lived on an island 
That rose up from the sea. 
And everybody on the island 
Was somebody from TV. 
And there was a beautiful view 
But nobody could see. 
Cause everybody on the island 
Was saying: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! 
Why? 
Paradise is exactly like 
Where you are right now 
Only much much better.
