Laurie Anderson
This is the Picture (Live) [Athens 1987]
[Intro]
Uh! Uh! Hey!
You know what you're giving out
Hey!
“Ladies and gentlemen, live from Athens, the Famous Five. Presenting, all the way from London, in Lane Number One: the remarkable, rambunctious... David Rhodes!
Lane Number Two from the shores of New Jersey: the legendary Mr David Sancious! Hey!
Number Three: the lore, the charm, the elegance, the sophistication that Paris can muster… c'est Monsieur Manu Katché!
Number Four: the man who paid off all the judges before the show began… it's me! Hey!
Finally, last, but by no means least… the infamous, the notorious… Room Number 834, Mr Tony Levin!
This is a song written with Laurie Anderson and called 'This Is…', 'This Is…', no, 'This Is the Picture'.”

[Verse 1]
Flying birds, excellent birds
Watch them fly
Falling snow, excellent snow
Watch it fall
Long words, excellent words
I can hear them now

[Chorus]
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
[Verse 2]
Sitting by the window
Watching the snow fall
I'm looking out
I'm moving, turning in time
Catching up, moving in
Jump up

[Chorus]
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture
This is the picture

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Pictures of people
Pictures of people
Pictures of people
Pictures of people
Pictures of people
I see pictures of people
Pictures of people
Hey!
