Lyrics Let X=X - Laurie Anderson

I met this guy
And he looked like might have been a hat check clerk at an ice rink
Which, in fact, he turned out to be
And I said: "Oh boy, right again"
Let X equal X

You know, it could be you
It's a sky-blue sky
Satellites are out tonight
Let X equal X

You know, I could write a book
And this book, would be thick enough, to stun an ox
'Cause I can see the future and it's a place
About 70 miles east of here, where it's lighter
Linger on over here
Got the time?
Let X equal X

I got this postcard
And it read, it said:
Dear Amigo, Dear Partner
Listen, uh, I just want to say thanks
So... thanks!
Thanks for all the presents
Thanks for introducing me to the Chief
Thanks for putting on the feedbag
Thanks for going... All out
Thanks for showing me your Swiss Army knife
And uh...
Thanks for letting me autograph your cast
Love and kisses, XXXX 0000
Oh yeah, P.S.
I...
I feel...
Feel like
I am...
In a burning building, and I gotta go...

'Cause I...
I feel...
Feel like...
I am...
In a burning building, and I gotta go...

She said "it takes it takes one it takes one to it takes one to know one"

She said... She said it to no one, she said it to no one
"Isn't it. isn't it just like a woman
Your eyes
It's a day's work
To look into them
Your eyes
It's a days work
Just looking into them"
