Milla

by Lou Reed

Satellite's gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love (x2)

Satellite's gone
way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled (baby)
with parking cars

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love (repeat)

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednessday, Friday (repeat)

Satellite's gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love (repeat)

I see a shining....
A sweeping from the clouds
A glimmer of hope
Is coming to feel our light

Oh look it's flashing
This life among the stars
Reaching out to know us
To feel our might

Oh... this restless hope in you
Please... try and help us
Stand on our own

As we stopped on this pavement


And saw your dying mind
Paper, for which you're killing brothers life

Help you, we cannot trust you
We cannot understand
Your people's proud destruction
Of their own land

Oh... we're flying on from you
We... will not stay to see your fate

Watch them fly away
Watch them fly away
See the lines across the sky
Watch them fly... away

Reaching over
life to life
feeling sugared skin
my poor baby
kissed him so
to ashamed to lift his chin

a voice is speaking
he's the prophet
blinded by the light
a heart is breaking
I can hear it
dropped when gone beyond my sight

hey there, Mr. Talk Too Much
what's in store for us now?

I don't know how to speak to you
I don't know how to trust you
I don't know how to live for you
I don't know how to love you
the gentleman who fell before the court

I feel your closeness
like a shotgun
a chill within my soul
I touch your finger
know your darkness
your passion takes its' toll

Can't see that this talk is cheap
let the suffering go

Repeat First Chorus
Repeat First B Section
Repeat Chorus

How can I be telling you my thoughts my love
When even I don't know what I'm thinking
How can I explain the way your eyes
Burn into my mind, my love


For when you talk to me
I'm blind 'cause you set me free
and you hold me and your fingers
touching me


What if we decide to break these walls?
This from me, the builder
Can we give this love a fair chance?
And only cease when it fades


And when I see your face
Locked in my memory
And you hold me
And I'm giving up to you


Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you


Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Nearing towards you


Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Nearing towards you

Now, be free
the sky must have fallen
when I couldn't see
your life's weak strain
I take a step back
and you've fallen again

But if you'd listened
a little closer
reaching over
this cold shoulder

Oh Charlie, a boy and his toys
I see you lying stiff and cold
spread out upon the bedroom floor
kiss me darling with those
pale lips once more
hands could never comfort you
not so well as steel could do

Freak on in
did you think this time
you would finally win
a trip of life

Repeat B section
Repeat Chorus

Reeling spinning out of lies
daisy vision in your eyes
boat is sinking someone cries
you have left me to surmise
your surprise

Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
The sky is my one direction
The earth is my bed


Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Save your soul, man
For life's a game
receive me as a dancing monkey
And throw me a dime


And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food


You come back now and share your peace
We'll still be here
'Til time's release
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet


And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food


Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet

Hey little devil that dwells inside
this angel's body, this angel's mind
he said "all I need is Jesus to fly"
take a little peak through that head of hair
I know somewhere there are eyes in there
trying to hide a heart that's shining, so bright


they said "what makes you different, from us?"
we're gonna bang your head, down


I've got a dream that's growing inside me
I'm ready to burst and set it free
I know god waits in the city, of angels
now I've been building a wall these many years
I feel safe inside hiding all my fears
don't hold your breath
if you're trying to touch me


they said "don't believe in yourself
we're gonna band your head, down
we're gonna band your head
band your head down"


We are aging
soon to pass away
so cruel to never know, never know
never finish what was started.


My whole life's been really strange
I've been running in circles
trying to make a change
I transcend myself with Billy I'm home

I'm locked in a box
With a window and a clock
Sometimes I can't sleep
I watch the second hand feeding

Time is ticking, ticking
And the flowers are dripping, dripping
I am awake and I cannot sleep

All hail to the madman
Great murderer, great Aryan
Take all that you need
Take my life, my song, my breed

Fires are burning, burning
My people are yearning, yearning
I'm locked away to defy and die

Instrumental

I'm locked in a box
With a window and a clock
Sometimes I can't sleep
I watch the second hand feeding

Time is getting colder
And I'm getting older, older
Where is the face that I knew before

I am awake and I cannot sleep
