letra de the hollywood strangler - laurie anderson

i was living out in west hollywood
when a hollywood strangler was strangling women.
every night there was a panel discussion on tv about the strangler,
speculations about his habits, his motives, his methods.
one thing was clear about him:
he only strangled women when they were alone, or with other women.
and the panel members would always end the show by saying:
now for all you women, listen: don’t go outside without a man.
don’t walk out to your car, don’t even take the garbage out by yourself;
always go with a man.

then, one of the eyewitnesses
identified a policeman
as one of the suspects.
the next night,
the chief of the police
was on the panel, and he said:

now for all you women,
whatever happens,
do not stop for a police officer,
stay in your car.
if a police officer tries to stop you,
do not stop,
keep driving and under no circ-mstances
should you get out of your car.

for a few weeks,
half the traffic in la was doing twice the speed limits.
