Statue of Liberty - 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
