O Superman (for Massenet) Lyrics - Laurie Anderson

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... 

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad 

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad 

Mom and Dad, Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad 

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad 

Mom and Dad, Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Hi. I'm not home right now 

But if you want to leave a message 

Just start talking at the sound of the tone 

Ah, ah 

Ah, ah, ah, ah 

Hello? This is your Mother 

Are you there? 

Are you coming home? 

Ah, ah, ah 

Hello? Is anybody home? 

Well, you don't know me 

But I know you 

And I've got a message to give to you: 

Here come the planes 

So you better get ready 

Ready to go 

You can come as you are 

But pay as you go 

Pay as you go 

Ah ah ah ah ah 

And I said: OK. Who is this really? 

And the voice said: 

This is the hand, the hand that takes 

This is the hand, the hand that takes 

This is the hand, the hand that takes 

Here come the planes 

They're American planes 

Made in America 

Smoking or non-smoking 

Ah, ah 

Ah ah ah ah 

And the voice said: 

Neither snow nor rain 

Nor gloom of night 

Shall stay these couriers 

From the swift completion 

Of their appointed rounds 

[Bridge] 

Cause when love is gone, there's always justice 

And when justice is gone, there's always force 

And when force is gone, there's always Mom 

Hi Mom! 

Ah, ah 

Ah ah ah ah 

So hold me, Mom 

In your long arms 

So hold me, Mom 

In your long arms 

In your automatic arms 

Your electronic arms 

In your arms 

So hold me, Mom 

In your long arms 

Your petrochemical arms 

Your military arms 

In your electronic arms
