Speak My Language Lyrics
Daddy Daddy, it was just like you said
Now that the living outnumber the dead.
Where I come from it's a long thin thread
Across an ocean, down a river of red.
Now that the living outnumber the dead.
I'm one of many.
Daddy Daddy, it was just like you said
Now that the living outnumber the dead.
Speak my language.
Hello. Hello.
Here come the quick. There go the dead.
Here they come.
Bright red.
Speak my language.
Now that the living outnumber the dead.
Across an ocean, down a river of red.
Now that the living outnumber the dead.
I'm one of many.
Now that the living outnumber the dead.
Speak my language.
Here come the quick. There go the dead.
Here they come.
Bright red.
Speak my language.

i'm surprised no one has commented on this song. i heard this song in wong kar-wai's "fallen angels" and completely fell in love with it. so naturally sultry.
@macramebird It’s been 19 years since you left this reply. I turned 26 a few days ago. Just discovered Laurie Anderson and only heard a few songs so far. But this one is perplexing to me. I can’t figure out what it means. It would be SO awesome if you replied after 19 years!
