Lyrics for Adventurer by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Adventurer | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 83 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
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
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
to lose its grip
You're an adventurer
You were out looking for
meaning
While the rest of us were steaming in an inspirating 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
