Tell All the Animals Lyrics

[00:00.000]	作曲 : Laurie Anderson
[00:02.990]	I'm standing in the room where she was dying.
[00:08.620]	She's talking in a high new voice,
[00:11.295]	I've never heard before.
[00:16.392]	"Why are there so many animals on the ceiling now?" she says
[00:22.083]	What are the very last things you say in your life?
[00:27.370]	What are the last things you say,
[00:30.583]	before you turn into dirt?
[00:37.243]	When my mother died,
[00:38.864]	she was talking to the animals that had gathered on the ceiling.
[00:43.179]	She spoke to them tenderly.
[00:48.302]	"All you animals," she said.
[00:56.038]	Her last words, all scattered.
[01:00.353]	Different trains. Places she'd always meant to go.
[01:06.296]	"Don't forget you're in the hospital," we kept saying.
[01:10.615]	She holds up her hand.
[01:13.026]	"Thanks, so much... No, the pleasure is all mine."
[01:16.822]	She tries again.
[01:19.657]	"It's been my privilege, and my, my honour, to be part of this – experiment.
[01:23.744]	This – experience – with you, and uh, your family and, and it's been, it's been..."
[01:32.341]	"Tell the animals" she said.
[01:41.647]	"Tell all the animals."
[01:47.594]	Is it a pilgrimage?
[01:50.188]	Towards what?
[01:55.699]	Which way do we face?
[02:00.059]	Thank you so much, for having me
