Laurie Anderson — Freefall

You're out on the ocean And you get pulled down Free fall to the bottom Like when you're drowning Or falling asleep You get turned around And when you think you're Swimming to the surface You're swimming straight down Down to the bottom All the way to the bottom Secret codes and cryptograms I'm lost in your words I'm swimming We're going down to the bottom All the way to the bottom Rapture of the deep I got your letter I couldn't read it It was a cryptogram Did it say, "take me with you" Or "take me as I am?" We're going down to the bottom All the way to the bottom We get turned around There is another world Spinning inside of this one I remember where I came from There were tropical breezes And a wide open sea I remember my childhood I remember being free We're going down to the bottom All the way to the bottom We get turned around There is another world Inside of this one Rapture of the deep We're going down to the bottom There is another world Spinning inside of this one
