Lou Reed - Rock Minuet lyrics
[Lou Reed - Rock Minuet lyrics]
Paralyzed by hatred and a piss ugly soul
If he murdered his father
He thought he'd become whole
While listening at night to an old radio
Where they danced to the rock minuet
In the gay bars in the back of the bar
He consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floor
While the jukebox played backbeats
He sniffed coke off a jar
While they danced to a rock minuet
School was a waste
He was meant for the street
But school was the only way
The army could be beat
The two whores sucked his nipples 'til
He came on their feet
As they danced to the rock minuet
He dreamt that his father was
Sunk to his knees
His leather belt tied so tight that
It was hard to breathe
And the studs from his jacket were
As cold as a breeze
As he danced to a rock minuet
He pictured the bedroom where he
Heard the first cry
His mother on all fours, ah
With his father behind
And her yell hurt so much
He had wished he'd gone blind
And rocked to a rock minuet
In the back of the warehouse
Were a couple of guys
They had tied someone up and
Sewn up their eyes
And he got so excited he came on his thighs
When they danced to the rock minuet
On Avenue B, someone cruised him one night
He took him in an alley
And then pulled a knife
And thought of his father
As he cut his windpipe
And finally danced to the rock minuet
In the curse of the alley
The thrill of the street
On the bitter cold docks where
The outlaws all meet
In euphoria drug in euphoria heat
You could dance to the rock minuet
In the thrill of the needle and anonymous sex
You could dance to the rock minuet
So when you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance to the rock minuet
If he murdered his father
He thought he'd become whole
While listening at night to an old radio
Where they danced to the rock minuet
In the gay bars in the back of the bar
He consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floor
While the jukebox played backbeats
He sniffed coke off a jar
While they danced to a rock minuet
School was a waste
He was meant for the street
But school was the only way
The army could be beat
The two whores sucked his nipples 'til
He came on their feet
As they danced to the rock minuet
He dreamt that his father was
Sunk to his knees
His leather belt tied so tight that
It was hard to breathe
And the studs from his jacket were
As cold as a breeze
As he danced to a rock minuet
He pictured the bedroom where he
Heard the first cry
His mother on all fours, ah
With his father behind
And her yell hurt so much
He had wished he'd gone blind
And rocked to a rock minuet
In the back of the warehouse
Were a couple of guys
They had tied someone up and
Sewn up their eyes
And he got so excited he came on his thighs
When they danced to the rock minuet
On Avenue B, someone cruised him one night
He took him in an alley
And then pulled a knife
And thought of his father
As he cut his windpipe
And finally danced to the rock minuet
In the curse of the alley
The thrill of the street
On the bitter cold docks where
The outlaws all meet
In euphoria drug in euphoria heat
You could dance to the rock minuet
In the thrill of the needle and anonymous sex
You could dance to the rock minuet
So when you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance to the rock minuet
