LOU REED - Like a possum lyrics

rate me

Good morning, it's possum day

feel like a possum in every way

like a possum

Possum whiskers, possum face

possum breath and a possum taste

ooohhh, like a possum

Possum tales, possum eyes

possum bones, possum thighs

oh, like a possum

Possum shots, possum runs

possum sleeps to possum drums

calm as an angel

Good morning, it's possum day

I feel like a possum in every way

like a possum

Wake up with a possum smile

look at me, look at this smile

like a possum

Things are all right, don't worry about this

my mind's amiss, I've lost the kiss

My smile is leaden, my gait is rubber

and I say as one possum to another like a possum

calm as an angel

The only thing I hope to never see

is another possum in this tree

playing possum

Just like a possum

I got a hole in my heart the size of a truck

it won't be filled by a one-night fuck

Slurping and squeezing ain't it just my luck

got a hole in my heart the size of a truck

the size of a truck

The devil tried to fill me up but my down was high

as the sky is up, ah

ain't that just my luck

calm as an angel

Smoking crack with a downtown flirt

shooting and coming 'til it hurts

calm, calm, ah, calm

calm as an angel

They're mating like apes in the zoo

ah, one for me and one for you

wouldn't it just be lovely

Another useless night in bed, ah, ah

by the Hudson River, the roller-bladers giving head

used condoms float on the river edge's head

Wouldn't it be lovely

wouldn't it be lovely

I got a hole in my heart the size of a truck

it won't be filled by one-night fuck

like a possum

like a possum

Ahhh

calm as an angel

You know me I like to dance a lot

with different selves who cancel out

one another

I'm the only one left standing

One likes muscles, oil and dirt

and the other likes the women with the butt that hurts

like a possum

Devil tried to fill me up

but my down was high as the sky is up

calm as an angel

I got a hole in my heart the size of a truck

and it won't be filled by a one-night fuck

like a possum

You know me I like to drink a lot

and carry on

don't know which self will show up, ah

over the 5 a.m. sun, -

- The moon is shining

over the docks shining

ooohhh, calm as an angel

Girls in the market know what I'm about

they pinch their nipples and they lift their skirts, ah

with a pierced tongue licking below a stained T-shirt

Look at this smile

My mind's amiss

Smoking crack with a downtown flirt

shooting and coming 'til it hurts

calm, calm

Sitting on a curb I throw a rock

at the passing meat market trucks

it's just my luck

I'm the only one left standing

Now you know me I like to drink a lot, ah

only one left standing

The girls in the market know what I'm about

they pinch their nipples and they lift their skirts

licking below a stained T-shirt

calm as an angel

Smoking crack with a downtown flirt

shooting and coming baby 'til it hurts

wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be

Wouldn't it be love

wouldn't it be lovely

calm as an angel

Got a hole in my heart the size of a truck

it won't be filled by one-night fuck

Ain't it just my luck

I got a hole in my heart the size of a truck

Another useless night in bed

walk down the Hudson River getting head

calm, calm, calm, calm, calm as an angel

Don't know why baby, I'm still here strong

and fearless in the outside air

I'm the only one left standing

I'm the only one

the only one

the only one left standing

I'm the only one

I'm the only one

left standing

calm as an angel

I'm the only one

I'm the only one, the only one

left standing

calm as an angel

Shooting an coming 'til it hurts

o'holy morning

Calm as an angel
