It was a very cold clear fall night
I had a terrible dream Billy name and brigid were playing under my stair case on the second floor about two o'clock in the morning I woke up because amos and archie had started barking That made me very angry because I wasn't feeling well and I told them I was very cross the real me that they just better remember what happened to sam the bad cat that was left at home and got s Nd went pussy heaven It was a very cold clear fall night Some snowflakes were falling Gee, it was so beautiful And so I went to get my camera to take some pictures And then I was taking the pictures But the exposure thing wasn't right And I was going to call fred or gerry To find out how to get set it I was too late And then I remembered they were still probably at dinner And anyway I felt really bad and didn't want to talk to anybody But the snowflakes were so beautiful and real looking And I really wanted to hold them And that's when I heard the voices From down the hall near the stairs So I got a flashlight And I was scared and I went out into the hallway There's been all kinds of troubles Lately in the neighborhood And someone's got to bring home the bacon and anyway There were brigid and billy playing And under the stair case Was a little meadow sort of like the park at 23rd street Where all the young kids go and play frisbee Gee, that must be fun Maybe we should do an article on that in the magazine But they'll just tell me I'm stupid and it won't sell But I'll just hold my ground this time, I mean It's my magazine, isn't it? So I was thinking that as the snowflakes fell And I heard those voices having so much fun Gee, it would be so great to have some fun So I called billy But either he didn't hear me or he didn't want to answer Which was so strange Because Even if I don't like reunions I've always loved billy I'm so glad he's working I mean it's different than ondine He keeps touring with those movies And he doesn't even pay us and the film I mean the film's just going to disintegrate and then what I mean he's so normal off of drugs I just don't get it And then I saw john cale He's been looking really great He's been coming by the office to exercise with me Ronnie said I have a muscle But he's been really mean since he went to aa I mean what does it mean When you give up drinking and then you're still so mean He says I'm being lazy but I'm not I'm just can't find any ideas I mean I'm just not Let's face it Going to get any ideas up at the office And seeing john made me think of the velvets And I had been thinking about them When I was on st. marks place Going to that new gallery those sweet new kids have opened But the thought I was old And then I saw the old dom The old club where we did our first shows It was so great And I don't understand about that velvet's first album I mean I did the cover I was the producer And I always see it repackaged And I've never gotten a penny from it How could that be I should call henry But it was good seeing john I did a cover for him But I did in black and white and he change it to color It would have been worth more if he'd left it my way But you can never tell any body anything I've leaned that I tried calling again to billy and john They wouldn't recognize me it was like I wasn't there Why won't they let me in And then I saw lou I'm so mad at him Lou reed got married and didn't invite me I mean is it because he thought I'd bring too many people I don't get it Could have at least called I mean he's doing so great Why doesn't he call me? I saw him at the mtv show And he was one row away and he didn't even say hello I don't get it You know I hate lou I really do He won't even hire us for his videos And I was proud of him I was so scared today There was blood leaking thought my shirt From those old scars from being shot And the corset I wear to keep my insides in was hurting And I did three sets of fifteen pushups And four sets of ten setups But then my insides hurt And I saw drops of blood on my shirt and I remember The doctors saying I was dead And then later they had to take blood out of my hand 'couse they ran out or veins But then All this thinking was making me an old grouch And you can't do anything anyway so If they wouldn't let me play with them in my own dream I was just going to have to make another And another And another Gee, wouldn't it be funny if I died in this dream Before I could make another one up And nobody called And nobody came |

Rowena :
A wild being from birth My spirit spurns control Wondering the wide earth searching for my soul While all the world is chiding In visions of the dark night I have had a waking dream A holy dream A holy dream A waking dream of life and light That cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding With a ray turned back upon the past While I aghast Sit motionless through the misty night Dimly peering at what once shone bright Peeking wariy at what shone afar What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? Poe : In the consideration of the faculties And impulses of the human soul In consideration of our arrogance Our radical, primitive, irreducible arrogance of reason We have all overlooked the propensity We saw no need for it The paradoxical something which we may call perverseness A mobile without motive Through its promptings, we act without comprehensible object Induction would have brought phrenology to admit this We act for the reason we should not For certain minds this is absolutely irresistible The conviction of the wrong or impolicy of an action Is often the unconquerable force It is a primitive impulse Elementary The overwhelming tendency to do Wrong for the wrong's sake This impels us to its persecutions Oh holy dream We persist in acts Because we feel that we should not persist in them This is the combativeness of phrenology Rowena : We have a task before us which must be speedily performed We know it will be ruinous to delay Trumpet-tongued, the important crisis of our life calls We glow Poe : We are consumed with eagerness to commence work Yet a shadow flits across the brain The impulse increases to a wish The wish to a desire The desire to uncontrollable longing And the longing in defiance of all consequences is indulged We put off all until tomorrow Rowena : We tremble with the violence of the conflict within us The definite with the indefinite The substance with the shadow There is no answer except that we feel perverse The shadow prevails Our energy returns We will commit now We will labor now Oh holiest of dreams But it is too late We stand upon the brink of the precipice Poe : We grow sick and dizzy We go to shrink from danger but instead we approach it We are intoxicated by the mere idea Of a fall from such a great height This fall, this rushing annihilation For the very reason It contains the most loathsome and ghastly images Of death and suffering For this reason do we now most impetuously desire it There is no passion in nature So demonic as the passion of him who Shuddering upon the edge, meditates a plunge We will these actions merely Because we feel that we should not Having realized this, I swoon It is the spirit of the perverse The idea of a poison candle struck my fancy And I procured one for my victim I will not vex you with impertinent details But suffice it to say the verdict was "Death by the visitation of God" Rowena : All went well for me Poe : All went well for me Rowena : His estate inherited I reveled in absolute security I would never be found out I was safe I was safe If I did not prove fool enough to make open confession Poe : If I did not prove fool enough to make public confession No sooner had I uttered those words Than I felt an icy chill creep into my heart I made a strong effort To shake off this nightmare of the soul I laughed I whistled I walked and then walked faster I thought I saw a formless shape approaching me from behind And then I ran I pushed and shoved blindly I thought I left a hand upon my throat No mortal hand I screamed And then clearly, clearly I enunciated pregnant sentences That consigned me to the hangman and the hell The fullest judicial conviction Today I wear chains but tomorrow I shall be fetterless But where? Oh holy dream Oh beam of light I fall prostrate with excitement this holy night |

You're an adventurer you sail across the oceans you climb the Himalayas seeking truth and beauty as a natural state You're a queen reborn worshipped from above afar some see you as an elixir an elemental natural seeking perfect grace In a catacomb or cave of endless drawings prehistoric or religious your accomplishments prodigious seeking out the perfect tone Your language so clear your voice perfectly turning as in the city I sit yearning blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars or driving fast in foreign cars to capture your remains, huh You're an adventurer a turban wet wrapped 'round your head on the mountainside they predict your death oh how you fooled them all But subjects are a poor excuse when what you really want's a muse an inspirating knowledge of what comes before Ooohhh, speeds of light the momentary flicker of a candle in its wicker basket smoking wax, facts Did you find that superior knowledge that eluded you in college Did you find that super vortex that could cause your cerebral cortex ooohhh, to lose its grip You're an adventurer you were out looking for meaning while the rest of us were steaming in an inspirating ah, urban pit An adventurer you enter as I'm dreaming I wish I'd never wake up Differentiating scheming from my one true love You're an adventurer you love the angles and the cherries the height and width of levies the natural bridge and tunnels of the human race You're an adventurer nothing seem to scare you and if it does it won't dissuade you you just will not think about it you dismiss it and defocus you redefine the locus of your time in space, race As you move further from me and though I understand the thinking and have often done the same thing I find parts of me gone You're an adventurer and though I'll surely miss you and of course I'll survive without you and maybe good will come of that But at this point, ah I anticipate some grieving and although I know your leaving is a necessary adjunct to what we both do An adventurer splitting up the atom splitting up the once was splitting up the essence of our star-crossed fate None who meet you do forget you, my adventurer my adventurer, my adventurer-venturer my adventuress |

If you close the door, the night could last forever
Keep the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're havin such fun I wish it could happen to me but if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again. If you close the door, the night could last forever, Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes and say hello -- you're my very special one-- but if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again. Dark cloudy bars Shiny Cadillac cars and the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain As they stand disarrayed And if you close the door, the night could last forever. Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never all the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me 'Cause if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again. I'd never have to see the day again. (once more) I'd never have to see the day again. |

Miss Riley had a dog
she used to keep it in her backyard And when the dog began to bark all the neighbors began to shout Then came a stormy night Miss Riley let her dog out And when the neighbors found him 'round they put a gun down his mouth and shot him down and he went Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow Miss Murphy had a cat on her lap it sat And once in a great big while it looked like that Cheshire cat did smile But often it used to chase anything that crossed its face But one day it got so hot that Cheshire cat had a blood clot and she said Ooohhh-meow, me-meow Ooohhh-meow, me-meow the dog was hot and the cat was wet Then came some sweaty dude he put a board between the two Then they couldn't get at it got frustrated all about it So they did the only thing you could do they took the dude's sweat and shot it up between the two and they said Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow Ooohhh-wow, bow, me, wow |

When I think of you Baton Rouge
I think of a Mariachi band I think of sixteen and a crisp green football field I think of a girl I never had When I think of you Baton Rouge I think of a back seat in a car Windows are foggy and so are we as the police asked for our I.D. So helpless so helpless Ooohhh, ooohhh, so helpless ooohhh, so helpless Ooohhh, so helpless so helpless Well I once had a car lost it in a divorce the judge was a woman of course She said give her the car and the house and your taste or else I set the trial date So now when I think of you Baton Rouge and the deep southern belles with their touch I wonder where love ends and hate starts to blush in the fields in the swamps in the rush In the terra-cotta cobwebs of your mind when did you start seeing me as a spider spinning web Of malicious intent and you as poor, poor me at the fire at the joint, this disinterred and broken mount in the bedroom in the house where we were unmarried So helpless, so helpless so helpless So helpless, so helpless so helpless When was I the villain in your heart putting the brake on your start you slapped my face and cried and screamed that's what marriage came to mean The bitterest ending of a dream You wanted children and I did not was that what it was all about You might get a laugh when you hear me shout you might get a laugh when you hear me shout I wish I had So helpless, so helpless so helpless So helpless, so helpless so helpless Sometimes when I think of Baton Rouge I see us with two and a half strapping sons One and a half flushed daughters preparing to marry and two fat grandsons I can barely carry Daddy, uncle, family gathered there for grace a dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space The dream recedes in the morning with a bad aftertaste and I'm back in the big city worn from the race of the chase what a waste So thanks for the card the announcement of child and I must say you and Sam look great Your daughter's gleaming in that - - white wedding dress with pride sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile So I try not to think of Baton Rouge or of a, of a, of a Mariachi band Or of sixteen and a crisp green football field and the girl, and the girl I never had So helpless, so helpless so helpless So helpless, so helpless so helpless |

It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around
a little me to fill up with my thoughts A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams a way of saying life is not a loss I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself keep him from the poison of the crowd But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea it's not good trying to immortalize yourself Beginning of a great adventure Beginning of a great adventure Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV brood I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar and if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be as long as I don't have to try too much Beginning of a great adventure Beginning of a great adventure Susie, Jesus, Bogart, Sam, Leslie, Jill and Jeff Rita, Winny, Andy, Fran and Jet Boris, Bono, Lucy, Ethel, Bunny, Reg and Tom that's a lot of names to try not to forget Carrie, Marlon, Mo and Steve, La Rue and Jerry Lee Eggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The Glob I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names I hope this baby thing don't go too far I hope it's true what my wife said to me I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey I hope it's true what my wife said to me She says, "Baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure" "Babe, beginning of a great adventure" take a look It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around create in my own image like a god I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave and keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt some senile old fart playing in the dirt It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt I hope it's true what my wife said to me I hope it's true what my wife said to me I hope it's true what my wife said to me She says, "Lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure" "Lou, Lou, Lou, beginning of a great adventure" She says, "babe, how you call your lover boy" "Sylvia, quite you call your lover man" |

by the one who says she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel her cousins, they're all convicts she alone rose above that wheel But a motorcyclist no matter how good is slave to the oncoming truck and the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed Three of us lie in this bed night of infamy one of us lies on our back her father's in her head And quick she turns and slaps my face and with her eyes open wide she screams I hate you, I hate you, I hate you but she's looking right past me Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says that she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed And I lie down betrayed I lie down betrayed |

Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine We went to school, he was my best friend And I thought our friendship would never end In high school he played football And me, I didn't do anything at all He made touch-downs, while I played pool And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool Then we both went to collage He studied medicine while I studied foliage He got A's and I got D's He was going for his Ph.D. Then I decided to drop out Things were getting a little too hot Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor Then war broke out and he had to go But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so When he came back, he wasn't quite the same His nerves were shot, but not me Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door Billy was a friend of mine I grew up with him ever since I was nine We went together through school And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool |

The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate For him to choose What had he to lose Not a ghost bloodied country All covered with sleep Where the black angel did weep Not an old city street in the east Gone to choose And wandering's brother Walked on through the night With his hair in his face On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T. The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn Until we said so long To his skull-shrill yell Shining brightly red-rimmed and Red-lined with the time Infused with the choice of the mind On ice skates scraping chunks From the bells Cut mouth bleeding razor's Forgetting the pain Antiseptic remains cool goodbye So you fly To the cozy brown snow of the east Gone to choose, choose again Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget Where you come from The stools of your eyes Serve to realize fame, choose again And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse For the loss of a horse Went the bowels and a tail of a rat Come again, choose to go And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame Have your head bobbed and weaved Choose a side to be on If the stone glances off Split didactics in two Leave the colors of the mouse trails Don't scream, try between If you choose, if you choose, try to lose For the loss of remain come and start Start the game I che che che che I Che che ka tak koh Choose to choose Choose to choose, choose to go |

down this winding country road And I pass the gravel on the foot of the hill where last week I fell off There's still some oil by the old elm tree and a dead squirrel that I hit But if I hadn't left, I would have struck you dead so I took a ride instead Bottoming out bottoming out Bottoming out bottoming out My doctor says, she hopes I know how lucky I can be after all it wasn't my blood mixed in the dirt that night But this violent rage, turned inward can not be helped by drink And we must really examine this and I say I need another drink Bottoming out bottoming out Bottoming out bottoming out I'm tearing down Route 80 east the sun's on my right side I'm drunk, but my vision's good and I think of my child bride And on the left in shadows I see something that makes me laugh I aim that bike at the fat pothole beyond that underpass Bottoming out bottoming out Bottoming out bottoming out Bottoming out bottoming out Bottoming out bottoming out |

Fly through the glass of a window pane
fall through the sky feeling the rain Walk on broken glass your tell-tale heart Look through the bars of a dirty jail cell soar to heaven dive to hell Listen to your tell-tale heart Setting fires in the ghost twilight we see you dress we bolt with fright You see an apparition disappear Jump to the table, jump up the stairs stand on the rooftop, looking out through the air Walk on broken glass your tell-tale heart Lenore, am I dreaming How can death keep us apart, mmmm.. Lenore, I see you burning And I'd walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart Walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart Walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart Heart heart Heart heart Walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart your tell-tale heart Walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart Walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart Walk on burning embers walk on burning embers Walk on burning embers your tell-tale heart |
