Laurie Anderson - Bodies In Motion lyrics

rate me

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 covered in caves

Afraid of the dark and the thunder.

Wrapped up in black magic and rage

They were slaves to their hunger.

Now we fly across mountains in planes

We know all about time and big numbers.

We're bodies in motion.

We embody the spirit of motion.

I love you with all 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 all about snow.

No good or evil and no suffering.

Just perfect crystals spinning

In ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy.

Ooo the weight of the world. Eternal spin.

Puts a dent in my shoulder.

A burn in my spin. A burn in my spin.

Ooo the weight of the world. Eternal spin.

Puts a dent in my shoulder.

A burn in my spin. A burn 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.
