Lyrics for Magic Transformation by Lou Reed:
| | | Artist: | Lou Reed |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Magic Transformation | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | I was visited by the power and the glory
I was visited by a majestic hymn
Great bolts of
lightning lighting up the sky
electricity flowing through my veins
I was captured by a
larger moment
I was seized by divinity's hot breath
Gorged like a lion on
experience
powerful from life
I wanted all of it, all of it
all of it, not some of
it
All of it, all of it
not just some of it, but all of it
I saw a man turn into a
bird
I saw a bird turn into a tiger
I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his
toes
in the jungles of the Amazon
I saw a man put a redhot needle through his
eye
turn into a crow and fly through the trees
Swallow hot coals and breathe out
flames
and I wanted this to happen to me
oh, I wanted this to happen to me
I wanted
all of it, all of it
all of it, not some of it
All of it, all of it
not just some of it,
but all of it
cancer reduce him to dust
We saw the moon vanish into his
pocket
we saw the stars disappear from sight
We saw him walk across water into the
sun
while bathed in eternal light
We spewed out questions waiting for
answers
creating legends, religions and myths
Books, stories, movies and plays
all
trying to explain this
I wanted all of it, all of it
all of it, not some of it
All
of it, all of it
not just some of it, but all of it
I saw a great man turn into a
little child
the cancer reduce him to dust
His voice growing weak as he fought for his
life
with a bravery stronger than lust
I saw isotopes introduced into his
lungs
trying to stop the cancerous spread
And it made me think of ";Leda And The
Swan";
and gold being made from lead | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
