《The Rotowhirl(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rotowhirl (Live) - Laurie Anderson
[00:00:05] Around 1978 I met a comedian Andy Kaufmann
[00:00:12] And he was performing his avant-garde Elise act in a club in Queens
[00:00:19] The performance started with Andy playing the bongos
[00:00:23] And for some unknown reason sobbing
[00:00:29] We became friends
[00:00:31] And I acted as Andy's straight man in clubs and field trips
[00:00:37] At the Improv in New York
[00:00:40] Andy would begin his show by insulting women and saying
[00:00:45] I won't respect them until one of them comes up here
[00:00:47] And wrestles me down
[00:00:51] This was supposed to be my job
[00:00:55] I sat in the club drinking whiskies trying to get up the nerve
[00:01:02] In the meantime I was also supposed to be heckling him
[00:01:07] And after three whiskies I managed to get pretty abusive
[00:01:14] Wrestling him down though was really hard
[00:01:17] Because Andy really fought
[00:01:21] On our field trips we would go to Coney Island
[00:01:24] To try out some of Andy's theories on cutting-edge comedy
[00:01:30] We'd stand around the “test your strength” games
[00:01:33] The one with the big sledgehammer in the bell
[00:01:36] And Andy would make fun of all the guys
[00:01:39] Who were swinging away
[00:01:41] And I was supposed to beg him for
[00:01:43] One of the huge stuffed bunnies
[00:01:48] Oh Andy Honey please get me a bunny please please
[00:02:00] Finally Andy would step up
[00:02:02] To the big thermometer and take a swing
[00:02:06] The indicator would rise a few inches and
[00:02:08] “Try again weakling ” would flash
[00:02:12] At this point Andy would start yelling
[00:02:14] That the game was wicked and demanding to see the manager
[00:02:21] We also went at the rotowhirl
[00:02:23] The ride that plasters everyone against the walls of a spinning cylinder
[00:02:28] And stretches their bodies into Dopplered blobs
[00:02:32] Before the ride actually starts
[00:02:35] There are a couple of awkward minutes
[00:02:37] While the attendant checks the motor and the riders
[00:02:41] Bound head and foot stare at each other
[00:02:46] This was the moment that Andy seized
[00:02:51] He would start by looking around in a panick
[00:02:54] And then he would start to cry
[00:02:57] I don't wanna be on this ride
[00:03:00] I've changed my mind; we're all gonna die
[00:03:06] The other riders would look around self-consciously
[00:03:09] Should they help
[00:03:11] He would then begin to sob uncontrollably
[00:03:17] I loved Andy
[00:03:20] He would come over to my house
[00:03:23] And read from a novel he was writing
[00:03:26] He would read all night
[00:03:29] And I don't know if any of this book was ever even published
[00:03:34] I have never been one that hoped
[00:03:36] That Elvis is still hanging around somewhere hiding
[00:03:43] But I will probably always expect to see Andy reappear someday
