Song informationArtist: Laurie Anderson
LyricsHansel and gretel are alive and well and they're living in berlin she is a cocktail waitress he had a part in a fassbinder film and they sit around at night now drinking schnapps and gin and she says: hansel, you're really bringing me down and he says: gretel, you can really be a bitch he says: I've wasted my life on our stupid legend when my one and only love was the wicked witch. she said: what is history? and he said: history is an angel being blown backwards into the future he said: history is a pile of debris and the angel wants to go back and fix things to repair the things that have been broken but there is a storm blowing from paradise and the storm keeps blowing the angel backwards into the future and this storm, this storm is called progress
