"You're out
on the ocean
And you get
pulled down
Freefall
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.
"Freefall"
Lyrics & Music by Laurie Anderson 1994
I can't say
it any better myself.
This "other
world" has shown us
a grand entrance.How
can we walk
this path
together?
