Statue Of Liberty Lyrics - Laurie Anderson

Moon rises and sets 

In the real world 

Islands and hurricanes 

Wind blows in fort jersey 

It floats across the pave 

Into the open ocean 

It's a good day 

To run away 

Freedom is a scary thing 

Not many people really want it 

Me I keep my distance 

I'm always near 

That's just my way 

Cool water 

That's just another speckle on horizon 

Just another speckle in the sea 

Cool water 

Cool wind 

Statue of liberty 

Stands in the harbor 

Holding her torch 

Hello goodbye 

To all the men and women 

Who pass through her port 

Into the open ocean 

Just another speckle on horizon 

Just another speckle in the sea 

Cool water 

Cool wind 

Freedom is a scary thing 

Not many people really want it
