... And suddenly for no reason The way that angels leave the ground They left in a kind of vortex Traveling at the speed of sound And just as I started to leave Just as I turned to go I saw a man who'd fallen He was lying on his back in the snow
Some people walk on water Some people walk on broken glass Some just walk round and round in their dreams Some just keep falling down ... So when you see a man who's broken Pick him up and carry him And when you see a woman who's broken Put her all into your arms 'Cause we don't know where we come from We don't know what we are
And you? You're no one And you? You're falling And you? You're traveling Traveling at the speed of light

Man she has a funky background but for someone who hung out with degenerates like William S Burroughs, I guess she made the best of it. And by the way language really is a virus. Also she got away with publishing an album called “the ugly one with the jewels.” I don’t think you’d be able to do that with today’s ADL.
“In "The Cultural Ambassador," a piece on her album The Ugly One with the Jewels, Anderson explained some of her perspective on the character: (Anderson:) I was carrying a lot of electronics so I had to keep unpacking everything and plugging it in and demonstrating how it all worked, and I guess I did seem a little fishy—a lot of this stuff wakes up displaying LED program readouts that have names like Atom Smasher, and so it took a while to convince them that they weren't some kind of portable espionage system. So I've done quite a few of these sort of impromptu new music concerts for small groups of detectives and customs agents and I'd have to keep setting all this stuff up and they'd listen for a while and they'd say: So um, what's this? And I'd pull out something like (Bergamot:) this filter, and say, now this is what I like to think of as the voice of authority. And it would take me a while to tell them how I used it for songs that were, you know, about various forms of control, and they would say, now why would you want to talk like that? And I'd look around at the SWAT teams, and the undercover agents, and the dogs, and the radio in the corner, tuned to the Super Bowl coverage of the war. And I'd say, take a wild guess.”
