Laurie Anderson - Bodies In Motion lyrics

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 aI I about time and big numbers
We're bodies in motion
We embody the spirit of motion
I love you with aI I 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 eternal 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
