Lyrics for White Prism by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | White Prism | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | There's a white prism with phony jism
spread across its face
and the soulful convicts
forever interred
lose the smile across their faces
The smile that registered hopes or
dreams
has proven just a waste
And I'm the indentured servant
forever in his
place
and I'm the indentured servant
forever in his place
I wish I built a
cabinet
of shiny bolts and wood
secret draws and hiding places
sculpted out of
wood
Secret places, secret lies
in a desk lying alone
Secret letter written to
you
to be read when you're alone
secret letter written to you
to be read when you're
alone
It says, I'm your indentured servant
I can no longer pretend
that I'm a lover
or an equal
I'm not even a friend
I'm not good enough to serve you
I'm not good enough
to stay
So it is that I beseech you
to please turn me away
so it is that I beseech
you
to please turn me away
Turn me away
turn me away
turn me away
I'm
asking you to let me go
it hurts me when you're sad
and I can not do better than
this
which must surely make you mad
I'd be better off in your cabinet
or in a prison
made of cloth
Crouched beneath your dress I come
shooting little spurts
crouched
beneath your dress I come
shooting little spurts
I'm your indentured servant
but
even I have pride
in what I make or say or do
although I've lots to hide
I hide from
freedom and I hide from you
'cause you've found me out
I belong in prison beneath your
legs
in a cabinet that I've built
beneath a candle in a secret drawer
in a prison by a
moat
I'm your in | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
