Patti Smith - Godspeed lyrics

rate me

You are the adrenaline

Rushing through my veins

Stimulate my heart

Heavy crystalline

You are the sulphur

Extinguished by the flame

You are everything to me

All this in your name

Oh, walking in your blue coat

Weeping admiral

All the twisted cellars

They had to hand your name

Ended all that's static

In a myth of sin

Mirror minor static

Pale adrenaline

Take it

Ah, take it

That day you said to me,

"It could never be"

Say the hour of sea to seep

"Have you said Godspeed?"

Love is a vampire

Energy of dead

Love is like a boomerang

Comin' back again

On a rack of red leather

On a rack of skin and sin

Tell me how to pale

In adrenaline

And you said to me,

"It could never be"

Say the hour of sea to seep

And you said to me,

"Have you said Godspeed?"

I could make it all

All the twisted sand and foam

I'll never, ever return

I could make it

Make it all

I'm walking, follow me

Down the twisted stair

Stuck inside a memory

Shot and shot again

Hand upon a railin'

Courtin' fate and fate

We're sailin', sailin', sailin' sailin'

Down a black, black river

And I plunge right in

And I plunge right in

In adrenaline

In adrenaline

I move inside my vein

Ah, you're the speed I need

Throw the pistol in

Oh, your love's a vampire

Comin' in to suck

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Oh, I fell and fell and fell

Down, down, down, down

Oh, I'm gonna duck
