《The Ouija Board(Remastered LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The ouija board - Laurie anderson

[00:00:13] In 1978 I spent some time in California in the fall

[00:00:19] Looking for a quiet place to live

[00:00:22] I finally found what seemed to be the perfect apartment

[00:00:26] But the night after I moved in

[00:00:29] I heard a tremendous pounding sound

[00:00:33] As it turned out I had moved in right above

[00:00:36] A Hawaiian hallow log drum school

[00:00:41] Every other night it was converted into a hula school

[00:00:45] With a live band of six Hawaiian guitars

[00:00:51] I decided to soundproof my place

[00:00:54] But I didn't hang the door very well and all the sounds kept drifting in

[00:01:02] About this time like a lot of New Yorkers

[00:01:06] Who find themselves on the West Coast

[00:01:10] I got interested in various aspects of California's versions of the occult

[00:01:19] We would sit around at night

[00:01:21] When the Santa Anna winds howled outside

[00:01:26] And ask questions to the ouija board

[00:01:32] I found out a lot of information on my past 9 361 human lives on this planet

[00:01:41] My first life was as a raccoon

[00:01:47] And then you were a cow

[00:01:54] And then you were a bird

[00:02:00] And then you were a hat spelled the ouija

[00:02:06] We said “a hat ”

[00:02:09] We couldn't figure it out

[00:02:11] Finally we guessed that

[00:02:13] The feathers from the bird had been made into a hat

[00:02:17] Is this true

[00:02:19] Yes spelled the ouija Hat counts as half life

[00:02:29] And then

[00:02:33] Hundreds and hundreds of rave eyes

[00:02:43] Now this is apparently my first life as a woman

[00:02:47] Which should explain quite a few things

[00:02:51] Eventually though the ouija's written words

[00:02:55] Seemed to take a kind of personality a kind of a voice

[00:03:01] Finally we began to ask the board

[00:03:03] If the ouija would be willing to appear to us in some other form

[00:03:10] Forget it forget it forget it forget it forget it forget it

[00:03:13] The ouija seemed like it was about to crash

[00:03:15] Please please what can we do now

[00:03:18] So you will show yourself to us in some other manifestation

[00:03:26] You should lurk You should L U R K Lurk

[00:03:40] No I never really figured out how to lurk in my own place

[00:03:45] Even though it was only a rented place

[00:03:49] But I did find myself looking over my shoulder a lot

[00:03:54] And every sound that drifted in

[00:03:57] Seemed to be a version of this phantom voice

[00:04:01] Whispering in a code that I could never crack
