Rock Minuet-Lou Reed

[00:00.43]Paralyzed by hatred and a piss ugly soul [00:18.96]If he murdered his father, he thought he'd become whole [00:26.22]While listening at night to an old radio [00:32.62]Where they danced to the rock minuet [00:40.48]In the gay bars in the back of the bar [00:46.48]He consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floor [00:53.82]While the jukebox played backbeats, he sniffed coke off a jar [00:59.64]While they danced to a rock minuet [01:13.34]School was a waste, he was meant for the street [01:32.92]But school was the only way, the army could be beat [01:39.64]The two whores sucked his nipples 'til he came on their feet [01:46.05]As they danced to the rock minuet [01:52.38]He dreamt that his father was sunk to his knees [02:00.13]His leather belt tied so tight that it was hard to breathe [02:06.88]And the studs from his jacket were as cold as a breeze [02:13.22]As he danced to a rock minuet [02:19.12]He pictured the bedroom where he heard the first cry [02:33.18]His mother on all fours, ah, with his father behind [02:43.31]And her yell hurt so much, he had wished he'd gone blind [02:47.49]And rocked to a rock minuet [03:02.37]In the back of the warehouse were a couple of guys [03:06.91]They had tied someone up and sewn up their eyes [03:13.98]And he got so excited he came on his thighs [03:19.36]When they danced to the rock minuet [03:26.76]On avenue be, someone cruised him one night [03:47.45]He took him in an alley and then pulled a knife [03:54.85]And thought of his father, as he cut his windpipe [04:03.83]And finally danced to the rock minuet [04:16.39]In the curse of the alley, the thrill of the street [04:21.16]On the bitter cold docks where the outlaws all meet [04:29.15]In euphoria drug in euphoria heat [04:37.89]You could dance to the rock minuet [04:43.52]In the thrill of the needle and anonymous sex [04:48.18]You could dance to the rock minuet [04:56.99]So when you dance hard, slow dancing [04:58.13]When you dance hard, slow dancing [05:09.82]When you dance hard, slow dancing [05:16.12]When you dance to the rock minuet [05:21.52]
