"Everything Is Floating" lyrics - LAURIE ANDERSON
LAURIE ANDERSON
"Everything Is Floating"
[Spoken:]
And after the storm
I went down to the basement
And everything was floating
Lots of my old keyboards
Thirty projectors
Props from old performances
A fiberglass plane motorcycle
Countless papers and books
And I looked at them floating there
In the shiny dark water, dissolving
All the things I had carefully saved
All my life becoming nothing but junk
And I thought how beautiful
How magic and how catastrophic
