The song The Night Flight From Houston is performed by Laurie Anderson in the album named The Ugly One With The Jewels And Other Stories in the year 1995 .
It was the night flight from Houston. Almost perfect visibility. You could see the lights from all the little Texas towns far below. And I was sitting next to a fifty-year old woman who had never been on a plane before. And her son had sent her a ticket and said:
â Mom, you've raised ten kids; it's time you got on a plane.
And she was sitting in a window seat staring out and she kept talking about the Big Dipper and that Little Dipper and pointing; and suddenly I realized that she thought we were in outer space looking down at the stars. And I said:
â You know, I think those lights down there are the lights from little towns.
