I would cut my legs and tits off 
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski 
In the dark of the moon 

It made me dream of Nosferatu 
Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau 
Oh wouldn't it be lovely 

I was thinking Peter Lorre 
When things got pretty gory as I 
Crossed to the Brandenburg Gate 

I was feeling snappy perhaps I'd been napping 
And I'd just ate 
A following heart can tear you apart 
On a midnight to 8 shift 

A graveyard romance can only give one chance 
As the tombstones weave and breathe 
 
Feeling happy when my heart got beating 
On a Sunday afternoon 
I dreamt of breezes going through the treeses 
And stars were still illumed 
I have three hearts that I keep apart 
Trying to relate 
To normal feelings and the nightime reelings 
And some absynthe drunk so late 

The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk 
Onto the size of dessert plates 
But me I'm happy cause I got my little nappy 
And some opium to set me straight 
I'm just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl 
While my looks still hold me straight 

Straight up to illusion and fantasy's fusion 
Of reality mixed with drink 
I'm just a small town girl who's gonna give life a whirl 
Looking at the Brandenburg Gate

The View

I am a chorus of the voices 
That gather up the magnets 
Set before me

I attract you and repel you 
A science of the heart 
And blood and meaning

The coldness of most beauties 
Is a challenge that our youth 
Must quickly conquer

There is no time for guilt 
Or second guessing, second guessing
Based on feeling

I am the truth, the beauty 
That causes you to cross 
Your sacred boundaries

I have no morals
Some think me cheap
And someone who despises
The normalcy of heartbreak 
The purity of love

But I worship the young 
And just formed angel

Who sits upon the pin of lust
Everything else
Bores me

I want to see your suicide 
I want to see you give it up 
Your life of reason
I want you on the floor
And in a coffin your soul shaking
I want to have you doubting 
Every meaning you've amassed 
Like a fortune

Oh throw it away

For worship someone 
Who actively despises you

For worship someone 
Who actively despises you

I am the root 
I am the progress 
I'm the aggressor 
I am the tablet 
These ten stories

Worship
Worship

Pain and evil have their place 
Sitting here beside me 
I offer them to you as servants 
Of the gold that you must give

Pain and evil have their place 
Sitting here beside me
And I'll offer them, I offer them to you 
As servants of the gold 
That you must give to me

I want to see your suicide 
I want to see you give it up, give it up
Your your life of reason

I want to see you on the floor

And in a coffin, soul shaking 
Soul shaking
I want to have you doubting 
Every meaning you've amassed 
Like a fortune, like a fortune
Throw it away

For worship of someone
Who actively despises you
Who actively despises you

Pumping Blood
All Lyrics by Lou Reed
All Songs © 2011 Lou Reed Music (BMI)/Creeping Death Music (ASCAP)
© 2011 Sister Ray Enterprises Inc/We're Only In It For The Music

If I pump out blood in the sunshine
Oil on the wheel 
That is blasted and busted away

A nail or a little piece of glass 
A little piece of glass
A little piece of glass
Swarming like bees over the air
Off the pump off the thing
The blood that I'm pumping away

Like bees over the air
Off the pump
Off the thing
The blood that I'm pumping away

Off the pump
Off the thing
The blood that I'm pumping away

If I pump blood in the sunshine 
And you wear a leather box with azaleas
And I pump more blood 
And it seeps through my skin
Will you adore the river 
The stream, the trickle 
The tributary of my heart

As I pump more blood 
And it seeps through my skin

Will you adore the river
The stream, the trickle
The tributary of my heart

If I'm pumping blood 
Like a common state worker
If I waggle my ass like a dark prostitute
Would you think less of me

And my coagulating heart

Waggle my ass like a dark prostitute
Coagulating heart
Pumping blood

Would you top me off
Would you top me off as I deepen a curtsy
While you yell out, 'mercy'
We grow apart
Would you rip and cut me

Use a knife on me

Be shocked at the boldness 
The coldness of this little heart
Tied up in leather 
Would you take the measure 
Of the blood that I pump 
In the manic confusion of love

Supreme violation 
Supreme violation
'Oh, ah, ah, ah Jack I beseech you'

'Oh Jack I beseech you'
Supreme violation

Blood in the foyer 
The bathroom
The tea room
The kitchen, with her knives splayed

I will swallow your sharpest cutter 
Like a colored man's dick

Blood spurting from me 
'Oh Jack, Jack I beseech…'
'Jack, I beseech you, I beseech…'
In the end it was an ordinary heart

'Oh Jack I beseech you'
As I scream out my pain
In the end it was an ordinary heart

In the end, in the end, in the end
It was an ordinary heart

'Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack I beseech you'
Supreme violation . . . Oh

'Jack, Jack, Jack I beseech you'
I call out your name

Blood in the foyer, the bathroom, 
The tea room, the kitchen
And knives splayed
I swallow your sharpest cutter 
Like a colored man's dick
Blood spurting from me
Blood spurting from me

'Oh Jack'

'Oh Jack, I beseech ya'
In the end it was an ordinary heart

In the end it was an ordinary heart
Pumping blood

Mistress Dread 
All Lyrics by Lou Reed
All Songs © 2011 Lou Reed Music (BMI)/Creeping Death Music (ASCAP)
© 2011 Sister Ray Enterprises Inc/We're Only In It For The Music

I'm built like you are
I have a dress and a train
Your snake cold lips 
Make a harsh straight line
That echoes through my brain
You're perfect
Let me lift a glass high
Let me follow in your footsteps
Let me follow in your sigh
Let me follow in your sigh

I'm a woman who likes men
But this is something else
I've never felt such stirrings
I feel like I 
Was someone else

I wish you'd tie me up and beat me
Crush me like a kick
A bleeding strap across my back
Some blood that you could kiss

Oh kiss away, oh kiss away
I wish there was a strap of blood
That you could kiss away
I wish there was a strap of blood
That you could kiss away
Tie me with a scarf and jewels
Put a bloody gag to my teeth

I beg you to degrade me
Is there waste that I could eat

I am a secret lover
I am your little girl
Please spit into my mouth
I'm forever in your swirl
You're heartless and I love that
You have no use of me

But I open the sticks, sticky legs I bear
And then insert a fist, an arm 
Some lost appendage
Please open me I beg

You are my goliath
You are my goliath
And I am mistress dread

Oh I am mistress dread
Oh I am mistress dread

Open and release me
I love you in my head

Oh kiss away kiss away
Kiss away kiss away

All I ask my baby 
Kiss away

All I ask my baby
Kiss away

Iced Honey
All Lyrics by Lou Reed
All Songs © 2011 Lou Reed Music (BMI)/Creeping Death Music (ASCAP)
© 2011 Sister Ray Enterprises Inc/We're Only In It For The Music

You can't put a butterfly in a jar
If the effort's too high no matter who you are
You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars
It doesn't matter who you are
Iced honey

Now me I've tried a million tricks
To make life cold and make it stick
Not running heat that flames then out
But the proud piece of ice that always floats
Iced honey

If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee
If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be
If no matter how much soul and heart
I put to the wood
If a flaming heart is not that good
Iced honey

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
If violence mars your final hour
If you make others feel like jam
Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb

If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout
And your oxygen starts to run out
If your final gasp has the recipe wrong
And instead of hello you say so long

If your energy starts to leak out
And people wonder what you're all about
A heartbreaker with an unattached heart
The story of love gives them all a start

And me, I've always been this way
Not by choice, just this way
I can't put my honey pot in a jar 
Or a heart or a fist of some young boy

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
No wonder no need to wonder where you are
It might seem like hell, the River Styx
Your affection never sticks

No matter what you say, no matter what you do
A butterfly heart flies right past you
There's nothing to say, nothing to do
See if the ice will melt for you
Iced honey

Cheat on Me
All Lyrics by Lou Reed
All Songs © 2011 Lou Reed Music (BMI)/Creeping Death Music (ASCAP)
© 2011 Sister Ray Enterprises Inc/We're Only In It For The Music

Why do you cheat on me
Why do I cheat on thee
Why do I cheat on me 
Why do I cheat on me

I have a passionate heart
It can tear us apart
I have the loves of many men
But I don't love any of them

Why do I cheat on me

You have your feelings
I have mine
I spit upon you and change my mind
I have many hearts to break 
And many, many, many more to take

Let the light of stars pour out
Like a candle in a spout
Let the wick recede and break
Let the starlight radiate
Why do you cheat on me
Why do I cheat on me
Why do I cheat on thee 
Why do I desecrate me
Why do I piss my dreams
That's because that's what it is

I have the drive
I got the scope 
If I, if I, if I, could I give you a rope

Your love means zero to me
I'm a passionateless wave upon the sea
Passionateless wave upon the sea
Why, why, why 
Do you cheat on me
Why, why, why
Do I cheat on thee
Oh why, do I cheat on me
Why do I cheat on myself
Well I got nobody else

I'm only young once
I want to taste it all and have fun
I have no real feelings in my soul
Where most have passion I got a hole
I really got nobody else

I want lovers like the rain
So many of them, so much the same
You say you love me, I know it's true
But I, I, I don't love you

Why do I cheat on me
Why do you cheat on me
Your love means zero to me
A passionateless wave
Your love means zero to me

Frustration
All Lyrics by Lou Reed

Frustration
In my lexicon of hate
I see you with your portraiture
Does he love you?
Does he love you too?

The brush strokes
Kiss your breasts and toes
I cry icicles in my stein
The heartbeats flutter 
With an abnormal rhythm

The pain shoots through my body
A sword between my thighs
I wish that I could kill you
But I too love your eyes

You're feeling less whore but you stimulate
The hatred smolders in your eyes
I'd drop to my knees in a second 
To salivate in your thighs

But all I do is fall over
I don't have the strength I once had
In you and your prickless lover 
And his easel in his eyes

I feel the pain creep up my leg
Blood runs from my nose
I puke my guts out at your feet
You're more man than I
To be dead to have no feeling 
To be dry and spermless like a girl

I want so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
Marry me
I want you as my wife

Spermless like a girl
More man than I
More man than I

Frustration 
In my lexicon of hate
You're feeling less like a whore but you 
Stimulate

All I do is fall over
I don't have the strength I once had
All I do is fall over
I don't have the strength I once had

I want you so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
I want you as a wife

Frustration is my lexicon of hate
Frustration is my lexicon of hate
Fru… fru… frustration, my lexicon of hate

I cry icicles
Heartbeats flutter
Abnormal rhythm

I wish that I could kill you 
But I too love your eyes
I want you as my wife
I want you as my wife
Spermless like a girl

Lucky in feeling
More man than I
Marry me, marry me, marry me
I want you as a wife
Spermless like a girl
Puking my guts at your feet
More man than I
Fru… fru… fru… frustration
Frustration

Little Dog
All Lyrics by Lou Reed
All Songs © 2011 Lou Reed Music (BMI)/Creeping Death Music (ASCAP)
© 2011 Sister Ray Enterprises Inc/We're Only In It For The Music

Little dog who can't get in
Moaning at the bed side 
Moaning from each limb

Little dog who can't get in
Can only cry but 
Can not swim

Pony legs, little trot
Little dog has to wait a lot

The bigger dog has got his spot 
And elbowed him away

Listen to him barking 
Listen to him call
Little dog don't have much at all

A puny body and a tiny dick
A little dog can make you sick

If you got the money you can go to the top 
The female dog don't care what you got
As long as you can raise that
Little doggie face to a cold hearted pussy
You could have a taste

A taste of what the big dog got
A taste of what the big dog got
The little dog with the one hundred dollar spot
Can run his tongue over the hot in trot
Hot in trot
Run his tongue over the hot in trot

Money can do anything 
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Tell me what you want

My small dog, he want what I got

Wants to run his tongue over my hot spot

Pathetic little dog

Pathetic little dog
The little man follows his nose
Counts his fingers and his toes 
He still got those
Pathetic little dog 
Pathetic little dog 
Following his nose
But it needs my money to buy

I'm an up while you're a down
I am an up while you're a down
The spring and the will follow me around
While you sniff your shit in the wind
Sniff your shit in the wind
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Tell me what it is you want
Just tell me what it is you want
I'm an up while you're a down
The spring and the will follow me around

Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want

You sniff your shit in the wind
Follow me around

Pathetic little dog 
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog

You don't actually care
Love for you is no beginning
You're not really there 
Hallucination
I thought you were listening
Hallucination
I thought you were listening
Hallucination

I understand you think you're above it
The adolescent sense of the sky
The feeling of billowing heartbeats
The fingertips run through your hair

They run through your hair
Hallucination 
Hallucination

Oh you think you're so special
That there's no law meant for you
You come and go like the goddess you are
We're mere mortals below
Fingertips run through your hair
We are mere mortals below

Are meant to be peons 
Are meant to be servants 
Are meant to be dismissible objects
One fucks with
One fucks with

Poor pitiful creature

The winner in heartbreak 
The winner in caring 
The winner in every miniscule method of wearing
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy

An idiot's idiocy
My, my caring for you
Caring for you
Do you think we're a book 
Some kind of a table
You can rest your feet on when you're able

Red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
My caring for you
Poor pitiful creature
To notice the pining
The self deprivation
The self flagellation of you
Dear worshippers

We do like you regal 
We do like you haughty
We do love to look upon your perfect body

The hair on your shoulders 
The smell of your armpit
The taste of your vulva and everything on it
We all really love you
And you have no meaning
You don't even see us
You were never caring

You go do what you do
You do it for you
No one exists with you
You're way above caring
Leave a trail upon the wake
That no one ever tries to take
Because waiting for you
Thinking of you
Is another way of dying
Is another way of dying

I'm clawing your chest
‘Til your collarbone bleeds
Piercing your nipples ‘til I bite them off
I scratch your face and bite your shoulders
Way above caring
Way above caring 
And your Kotex jukebox
Your Kotex jukebox

I'm doomed, I'm swearing
Waiting for you
In your high heels and nightie

Your leather dress squeaking
Latex now sweating, waiting for you
In your tincture
Your opium white bathrobe
Your white tiles run red now
Are we both dead now?
The liquid exchange of our heart
The liquid exchange of our heart
Are we both dead now?

You're way above caring
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
My caring 
My caring for you
My caring for you
You're way beyond caring
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy

My caring for you
Oblivious to caring
Oblivious to caring 
Oblivious to caring 
Leave a trail upon the wake
That no one ever tries to take
Because waiting for you
Because thinking of you
Is another way of dying

You're way above caring
Oblivious to caring 
Oblivious to caring
You poor pitiful creature
The mistake of feeling
The one who rejects you is the winner,
It's true
The winner in heartbreak
The winner in caring
The winner in every miniscule method of wearing
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy

An idiot's idiocy
Your heart on your fuckin' sleeve
My caring for you
We were meant to be peons
We're meant to be peons
Mere mortals below
Meant to be servants
Meant to be dismissible objects one fucks with
Oh, oh, oh you're so special
No law meant for you
You come and go like the goddess you are

The fingertips run through your hair
A billowing heart beats 
Feeling
Feeling
What a glorious feeling
To be so rejected
So rejected

An idiot's idiocy
My caring for you
You think I'm a book or a table
You can rest your fuckin' feet on
When you're able

The taste of your vulva, everything on it
The hair on your shoulders
The smell of your armpit
We do love you, to look upon your perfect body
We love you regal
We love you haughty
Oblivious to caring
Oblivious to caring
Caring

Oh my dear
Oh my dear
Oh my dear
Oblivious to caring

Are we really dead now?
Are we both dead now?

Would you come to me
If I was half drowning
An arm above the last wave

Would you come to me
Would you pull me up
Would the effort really hurt you 
Is it unfair to ask you
To help pull me up

The window broke the silence of the matches 
The smoke effortlessly floating

Pull me up 
Would you be my lord and savior 
Pull me up by my hair
Now would you kiss me, on my lips

Burning fever burning on my forehead 
The brain that once was listening now 
Shoots out its tiresome message

Won't you pull me up
Scalding, my dead father 
Has the motor and he's driving towards 
An island of lost souls

Sunny, a monkey then to monkey 
I will teach you meanness, fear and blindness 
No social redeeming kindness 
Or – oh, state of grace

Would you pull me up
Would you drop the mental bullet
Would you pull me by the arm up
Would you still kiss my lips
Hiccup, the dream is over 
Get the coffee, turn the lights on 
Say hello to junior dad 
The greatest disappointment 
Age withered him and changed him
Into junior dad 
Psychic savagery

The greatest disappointment
The greatest disappointment
Age withered him and changed him 
Into junior dad
