LOU REED - Dime Store Mystery lyrics

rate me

He was lying banged and battered, skewered and bleeding<br>Talking crippled on the cross<br>Was his mind reeling and heaving hallucinating<br>Fleeing what a loss<br><br>The things he hadn't touched or kissed his senses<br>Slowly stripped away<br>Not like buddha not like vishnu<br>Life wouldn't rise through him again<br><br>I find it easy to believe<br>That he might question his beliefs<br>The beginning of the last temptation<br>Dime story mystery<br><br>The duality of nature, godly nature,<br>Human nature splits the soul<br>Fully human, fully divine and divided<br>The great immortal soul<br><br>Split into pieces, whirling pieces, opposites<br>Attract<br>From the front, the side, the back<br>The mind itself attacks<br><br>I know the feeling, I know it from before<br>Descartes through hegel belief is never sure<br>Dime store mystery, last temptation<br><br>I was sitting drumming thinking thumping pondering<br>The mysteries of life<br>Outside the city shrieking screaming whispering<br>The mysteries of life<br><br>There's a funeral tomorrow<br>At st. patrick's the bells will ring for you<br>Ah, what must you have been thinking<br>When you realized the time had come for you<br><br>I wish I hadn't thrown away my time<br>On so much human and so much less divine<br>The end of the last temptation<br>The end of a dime store mystery
