LOU REED

LOU REED - Rock minuet lyrics

rate me

Paralyzed by hatred and a piss ugly soul

if he murdered his father, he thought he'd become whole

While listening at night to an old radio

where they danced to the rock minuet

In the gay bars in the back of the bar

he consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floor

While the jukebox played backbeats, he sniffed coke off a jar

while they danced to a rock minuet

School was a waste, he was meant for the street

but school was the only way, the army could be beat

The two whores sucked his nipples 'til he came on their feet

as they danced to the rock minuet

He dreamt that his father was sunk to his knees

his leather belt tied so tight that it was hard to breathe

And the studs from his jacket were as cold as a breeze

as he danced to a rock minuet

He pictured the bedroom where he heard the first cry

his mother on all fours, ah, with his father behind

And her yell hurt so much, he had wished he'd gone blind

and rocked to a rock minuet

In the back of the warehouse were a couple of guys

they had tied someone up and sewn up their eyes

And he got so excited he came on his thighs

when they danced to the rock minuet

On Avenue B, someone cruised him one night

he took him in an alley and then pulled a knife

And thought of his father, as he cut his windpipe

and finally danced to the rock minuet

In the curse of the alley, the thrill of the street

on the bitter cold docks where the outlaws all meet

In euphoria drug in euphoria heat

you could dance to the rock minuet

In the thrill of the needle and anonymous sex

you could dance to the rock minuet

So when you dance hard, slow dancing

when you dance hard, slow dancing

When you dance hard, slow dancing

when you dance to the rock minuet
