My Compensation - Laurie Anderson

My eyes snap open and I get up I say

This must be my lucky day

Jump up — get out — get on my way

Every slobbery frog and every mangy dog

That crosses my path reminds me

You’re my precious jewel and you’re my precious one

My compensation

I used to live in a big house

All I ever thought about was getting out

When I met you there was something about you

Every slobbery frog and every mangy dog

That crosses my path reminds me

I love your brain.

I love your brain

I love your brain
