Lou Reed - Andy’s Chest lyrics
[Lou Reed - Andy’s Chest lyrics]
If I could be anything in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come swooping after you
And if the last time you were here
Things were a bit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins
And their hearts
And all the missionaries lose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains boulder after you
If I could be any one of the
Things in this world that bite
Instead of a indentured ocelot on a leash
I'd rather be a kite
And be tied to the end of your string
And flying in the air, baby, at night
'Cause you know what they
Say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy-minded pink bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And stones are all erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers
Are flying after you
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were
Groovin' on the street
And just like in a movie
Her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
Which meant she tasted what she'd speak, woo
But the funny thing is what
Happened to her nose, ooh
It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooh
Now, when people say her feet smell
They mean her nose
And curtains laced with diamonds, dear
For you and all the Roman noblemen for you
And kingdom's Christian soldiers
Dear for you
And melting ice cap mountain tops for you
Oh oh
And knights in flaming silver robes for you
And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop swoop, oh baby, rock rock
Swoop swoop, rock rock
Swoop swoop, rock rock
I would be a bat and come swooping after you
And if the last time you were here
Things were a bit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins
And their hearts
And all the missionaries lose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains boulder after you
If I could be any one of the
Things in this world that bite
Instead of a indentured ocelot on a leash
I'd rather be a kite
And be tied to the end of your string
And flying in the air, baby, at night
'Cause you know what they
Say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy-minded pink bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And stones are all erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers
Are flying after you
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were
Groovin' on the street
And just like in a movie
Her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
Which meant she tasted what she'd speak, woo
But the funny thing is what
Happened to her nose, ooh
It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooh
Now, when people say her feet smell
They mean her nose
And curtains laced with diamonds, dear
For you and all the Roman noblemen for you
And kingdom's Christian soldiers
Dear for you
And melting ice cap mountain tops for you
Oh oh
And knights in flaming silver robes for you
And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop swoop, oh baby, rock rock
Swoop swoop, rock rock
Swoop swoop, rock rock
