Lyrics for Power And Glory - The Situation by Lou Reed:
| | | Artist: | Lou Reed |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Power And Glory - The Situation | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | 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)
All of
it
(Not just some of it, all of it, all of it)
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
(I wanted all of it, all of it, all of
it)
All of it
(All of it, all of it, all of it)
Not some of it
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, oh, all of it)
All of it
(All of it,
oh, all of it)
Not some 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 few men
know
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
The same power that burned Hiroshima
causing three legged babies and
death
