Bodies in Motion - Laurie Anderson

We embody the spirit of motion

We’re bodies in motion.

We’re bodies in motion

We dig down in the ocean.

Swing up to the stars

We own the moon and the earth.

We’re masters of Mars

We’re bodies in motion.

We embody the spirit of motion

Our ancestors cowered in caves

Afraid of the dark and the thunder

Wrapped tip in black magic and rage

They were slaves to their hunger

Now we fly across mountains in planes

We know aII about time and big numbers

We’re bodies in motion

We embody the spirit of motion

I love you with aII my heart.

You have my devotion

I loved you from the start.

We’re bodies in motion

We embody the spirit of motion

Ooo the weight of the world.

Eternal spin

Puts a dent in my shoulder

A burn in my spin.

A burn in my spin

Some say the future is crowds fighting for water and space

Chaotic and dark and loud, everything used up and taken

But I say the future’s within the still point of the mind

Where we escape the bounds of earth

And break the bonds of time

If somebody asked me to design a religion

I would make it aIl about snow

No good or evil and no suffering

Just perfect crystals spinning

In ecstasy ecstasy ecstasy ecstasy

Ooo the weight of the world.

Etemal spin

Puts a dent in my shoulder

A burn in my spin.

A bum in my spin

Ooo the weight of the world.

Etemal spin

Puts a dent in my shoulder

A burn in my spin.

A bum in my spin

We dig down in the ocean.

Swing up to the stars

We own the moon and the earth.

We’re masters of Mars

We’re bodies in motion.

We embody the spirit of motion

We’re bodies in motion.

We embody the spirit of motion
