The Heart Beats (feat. Bill Laswell on Bass)

from Half​-​Life by Marla Mase

/

lyrics

The heart beats 100,000x a day
Each person 100,000x a day
35 million times in a year
2.5 billion times in a lifetime

there are 6 billion people in the world
2 billion of them children or something like that
we're not really sure
each beating 100,000x a day
electrical circuits cohabitating cojoining coexisting

and the beats they merge they mingle
they seek out other beats
yes the beat is always looking for itself
to be in rhythm to be in sync to be one
it’s our global soul calling

what happens to them happens to us
their memories are our memories
beating beating beating beating

It has been said that love always find its object
and never stops until it does so
It's also been said that love is an act of freedom – emancipating not ourselves but the other)

yes the beat is always looking for itself
100, 000x times a day
35 million times a year
2.5 billion times in a lifetime
beating beating

we are all in this dance together
