《On the Way to Jerusalem(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] On The Way To Jerusalem (Live) - Laurie Anderson

[00:00:12] There was a devout nun in the XVth century

[00:00:18] Who decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem;

[00:00:22] And she belonged to an order that wore

[00:00:25] Bags over their heads

[00:00:28] And the mother superior told the nun that if she

[00:00:31] Walked through the countryside with a bag on

[00:00:34] Her head she would scare people

[00:00:39] But the nun insisted

[00:00:41] So the mother superior allowed to her to walk

[00:00:43] Around and around the cloister

[00:00:45] Every day for three years until she covered the

[00:00:49] Equivalent distance to the Holy City

[00:00:55] At the end of her journey the nun was so

[00:00:58] Exhausted that she collapsed

[00:01:02] A doctor was called

[00:01:04] After examining her he announced that she was

[00:01:09] Too weak to make the return trip

[00:01:14] The nun died shortly after
