Lyrics Bodies in Motion - Laurie Anderson

Bodies in Motion

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
