| Song | One Beautiful Evening |
| Artist | Laurie Anderson |
| Album | Life on a String |
| 作词 : Anderson | |
| One beautiful evening in the garden on | |
| Eden A snake came walking in the twilight | |
| He was leaning on his ivory cane | |
| And he said, let me tell you a little secret about life | |
| There's a certain sharpness to a knife, or a diamond | |
| Come here, | |
| Watch it glitter | |
| Oh it's another blue day in a nowhere place | |
| We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hay | |
| I'm a little teapot short and stout | |
| Tip me over and pour me out | |
| You know when the | |
| Egyptians built their steam trains | |
| They didn't have any fuel to burn - no wood, no trees anywhere. | |
| But they did have a lot of old mummy rags lying around | |
| So the gathered up all the rags and burned them in their trains | |
| Yeah, they burned their ancestors for fuel. | |
| Ooo, I'm a crocodile floating down the river | |
| I'm a tree catching my own oranges as they fall from my head | |
| I'm a little teapot short and stout | |
| Tip me over and pour me out | |
| And hello to all the people who sent me on the way | |
| A pat on the back for you. | |
| Have fun, it's your moment now | |
| It's your turn to walk along the runway road | |
| And me? I sent my better self on ahead. | |
| Your attention, please | |
| It's like at the end of the play and all the actors come out | |
| And they line up and they look at you... | |
| And horrible things have happened to them during the play | |
| And they stand there while you clap and now what? | |
| What happens next? | |
| And the fire dies and there were furious winds where he went | |
| We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hey | |
| We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hey | |
| It's another blue day in a nowhere place | |
| We're singin' hey, hey, nonny, hey | |
| I'm a little teapot short and stout | |
| Tip me over and pour me out | |
| Oh beauty in all it's forms | |
| Funny how hatred can also be a beautiful thing | |
| When it's as sharp as a knife | |
| As hard as a diamond | |
| Perfect. |
