LOU REED - Wild Child lyrics

rate me

I was talkin' to chuck in his genghis khan suit<br>And his wizard's hat<br>He spoke of his movie and how he was makin'<br>A new sound track<br><br>And then we spoke of kids on the coast<br>And different types of organic soap<br>And the way suicides don't leave notes<br>Then we spoke of lorraine<br>Always back to lorraine<br><br>I was speakin' to phil who was given to pills<br>And small racing cars<br>He had given them up since his last crack-up<br>Had carried him too far<br><br>Then we spoke of the movies and verse<br>And the way an actress held her purse<br>And the way life at times can get worse<br>Then we spoke of lorraine<br>Always back to lorraine<br><br>Ah, she's a wild child<br>And nobody can get at her<br>She's a wild child<br>Oh, and nobody can get to her<br><br>Sleepin' out on the street<br>Oh, livin' all alone<br>Without a house or a home<br>And then she asked you, please<br>Hey, baby, can I have some spare change<br>Oh, can I break your heart? <br><br>She's a wild child, she's a wild child<br><br>I was talkin' to betty about her auditions<br>How they made her ill<br>But life is the theater, is certainly fraught<br>With many spills and chills<br><br>But she'd come down after some wine<br>Which is what happens most of the time<br>Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes<br>Till we spoke of lorraine<br>Ah, always back to lorraine<br><br>I was talking to ed who'd been reported dead<br>By mutual friends<br>He thought it was funny that I had no money<br>To spend on him<br><br>So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese<br>And sang of our lives and our dreams<br>And how things can come apart at the seams<br>And we talk of lorraine<br>Always back to lorraine<br><br>She's a wild child<br>Oh, and nobody can get at her<br>She's a wild child<br>Oh, and nobody can get to her<br><br>Sleepin' out on the street<br>Oh, livin' all alone<br>Without a house or a home<br>And then she asked you, please,<br>Oh, baby, can I have some spare change<br>Now can I break your heart? <br><br>She's a wild child, she's a wild child
