The End Of The World (Live) - Laurie Anderson

Ladies and gentlemen please welcome back to London Laurie Anderson

Ooooaaaah

Hi This evening I'll be reading

From a book I just finished

And since a lot of it is about the future

I'm going to start more or less

On the last page

And tell you about my grandmother

Now she was a Southern Baptist Holy Ruler

And she had a very clear idea about the future

And of how the world would end

In fire

Like in Revelations

And when I was ten my grandmother told me

The world would end in a year

So I spent the whole year praying

And reading the Bible

And alienating all my friends and relatives

And finally the big day came

And absolutely nothing happened

Just another day

Ooooaaaah

Now my grandmother was a missionary

And she had heard

That the largest religion in the

World was Buddhism

So she decided to go to Japan

To convert Buddhists

And to inform them about the end of the world

And she didn't speak Japanese

So she tried to convert them with a combination

Of hand gestures

Sign language and hymns in English

Ooooaaaah

The Japanese had absolutely no idea what

She was trying to get at

And when she got back to the United States she was

Still talking about the end of the world

And I remember the day she died

She was very excited She was like a small bird perched

On the edge of her bed near the window in the hospital

Waiting to die

And she was wearing these pink

Nightgowns and combing

Her hair so she'd look pretty for the big moment

When Christ came to get her

Ooooaaaah

And she wasn't afraid but then

Just at the very last

Minute something happened

That changed everything

Because suddenly at the very

Last minute she panicked

After a whole life of praying and predicting

The end of the world she panicked

And she panicked because she couldn't decide

Whether or not to wear a hat

Ooooaaaah

And so when she died she went into the future

In a panic with absolutely no idea of

What would be next
