I adore Laurie Anderson. Funny, insightful, mysterious... I just can't say enough about her. This is one of her most beautiful songs. I'm not very good at making sense out of songs (in the sense of developing an interpretation that I'm confident of), and it took me years to realize that it's a love song. Have you ever met someone and felt in a moment that you know everything about them? OK, well I haven't either, but I've heard people talk about it.
Lyrics here (Clearly everyone copies the lyrics from someone else: the book is thick enough to stun an ox, not "think" enough. I looked over six or so sets of lyrics and they all had this wrong)
