Lou Reed - Rock And Roll Animal (1990) by Lou Reed (보컬) on maniadb.com

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death

And you can't help me, not you guys
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
On a sailor's suit and cap

Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life, ha-ha
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead

Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore

Ah, when that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Man thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

(White light)
White light going messin' up my mind
(White light)
and don't you know, gonna make me go blind
(White heat)
Oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes
(White light)
ooohhh, have mercy, white light have it, goodness knows

(White light)
White light going messin' up my brain
(White light)
oh, white light it's gonna drive me insane
(White heat)
Oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes
(White light)
oh, white light, I said now, goodness knows
do it

(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white light)
Oh, I surely do love watch that stuff shooting itself in
(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white light)
watch that side, watch that side
don't you know, gonna be dead and bright
(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white heat)
Yeah, foxy mama, watch her walking down the street
(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white light)
come upside, your head gonna make a dead end on your street

(White light)
White light movin' me drain my brain
(White light)
white light gonna make me really go insane
(White heat)
Oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes
(White light)
oh, white light, I said now, goodness knows

(White light)
Oh, white light, it's lightin' up my eyes
(White light)
don't you know it fills me up with surprise
(White heat)
Oh, white heat, tickle me down to my toes
(White light)
oh, white light, I tell you now, goodness knows
work at it

(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white light)
Ooooh, she surely do move speed
(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white light)
watch that speed freak, watch that speed freak
everybody gonna make it every week
(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white heat)
Oh, sputter mutter, everybody gonna kill their mother
(Ooohhh, ooohhh, white light)
here she comes, here she comes
everybody get it, make me run
do it
higher

When she walked on down the street
She was like a child staring at her feet

But when she passed the bar
and she heard the music play
She had to go in and sing
it had to be that way
She had to go in and sing
it had to be that way

And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day

After the applause had died down
And the people drifted away

She climbed down off the bar
and went out the door
To the hotel
that she called home
It had greenish walls
a bathroom in the hall

And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day
And I said no, no, no
oh, Lady Day

Jenny said, when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
Then, one fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
You know, she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock'n'roll

Despite all the imputations
You know, you could just go out
And dance to a rock'n'roll station
And it was all right, hey baby,
You know, it was all right

Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
`You know, my parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well, you know, ain't gonna help me at all`

Then, one fine morning, she turns on a New York station
She doesn't believe what she hears at all
Ooh, she started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock'n'roll
Yeah, rock'n'roll

Despite all the computations
You could just dance to that rock'n'roll station
And baby, it was all right, yeah
Hey, it was all right
Hey, here she comes now

Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
'Hey, you know, there's nothin' happening at all, not at all
Every time I put on the radio
You know, there's nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
But, one fine morning, she hears a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all, hey, not at all
She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock'n'roll
Yes, rock'n'roll

Despite all the computations
You know, you could just dance to the rock'n'roll station
