paroles de chanson The Island Where I Come From - Laurie Anderson
Let
me
tell
you
a
story
about
Kokovoko
The
island
where
I
come
from
The
beaches
are
littered
with
rotten
coconuts
And
there
are
pieces
of
old
skulls
lying
all
around
Jewels
and
sand
and
rising
water
Visions
I've
seen
and
cries
I've
heard
I
can't
put
these
things
into
words
Might
as
well
put
some
beans
In
a
hollow
gourd
and
shake
it,
shake
it
I've
floated
on
an
icecap
with
a
white
polar
bear
I've
floated
up
and
down
the
golden
stairs
I've
seen
whales
and
caught
in
sails
all
twiskeetwee
But
me?
I
don't
say
much
Jewels
and
sand
and
rising
water
Visions
I've
seen
and
cries
I've
heard
I
can't
put
these
things
into
words
Might
as
well
put
some
beans
In
a
hollow
gourd
There
are
lots
of
people
who
talk
just
to
hear
the
sound
The
sound,
the
sound
of
their
own
voices
But
take
an
empty
shell
and
put
it
up
to
your
ear
You
can
hear
the
ocean
rumbling
around
in
there
Ooo
the
greasy
wheel
it
goes
round
The
humming
of
the
breeze
it
makes
a
whishing
And
whirring
sound
The
sudden
silence
when
the
burning
sun
goes
down
Jewels
and
sand
and
rising
water
Visions
I've
seen
and
cries
I've
heard
I
can't
put
these
things
into
words
Might
as
well
put
some
beans
In
a
hollow
gourd
and
shake
it,
shake
it
