Statue of Liberty Songtext

von Laurie Anderson

Moon rises and sets
In the real world
Islands and hurricanes
Wind blows in from 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 leaving
That's just my way
Cool water
Now you're just another speck on the horizon
Just another speck on the sea
Cool water
Cool me

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
Now you're just another speck on the horizon
Just another speck on the sea
Cool water
Cool me
Freedom is a scary thing
Not many people really want it
