Laurie Anderson

It's a good time for bankers and winners and sailors
With their stories of jackpots and islands of pleasure
May their treasures locked in Iron Mountain
Locked in Iron Mountain,
They're sailing through this transitory life.
They're moving through this transitory life.
It takes a long time for a mouse to realize he's in a trap
But once he does, something inside him never stops trembling.
And grandma in the pancake makeup she never wore in life
Lies there in her shiny black coffin looks just like a piano.
She made herself a bed inside my ear.
She made herself a bed inside my ear.
And every night I hear
We're sailing through this transitory life.
We're moving through this transitory life.
