Lyrics for Baton Rouge by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Baton Rouge | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 106 | | | | Lyrics: | 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, 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 villa 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- | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
