Lulu

[Intro: Lou Reed]

I would cut my legs and tits off

When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski

In the dark of the moon

It made me dream of Nosferatu

Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau

Oh, wouldn't it be lovely

[Refrain: James Hetfield]

Small town girl

Small town girl

Small town girl

Small town girl

[Verse 1: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

I was thinking Peter Lorre

When things got pretty gory as I

Crossed to the Brandenburg Gate

Small town girl

I was feeling snappy

Perhaps I’d been napping

And I had just ate

Small town girl

A following heart

Can tear you apart

On a midnight to 8 shift

Small town girl

A graveyard romance

Can only give one chance

As the tombstones weave and breathe

Small town girl

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Small town girl

Small town girl

Ah, small town girl

Small town girl

[Verse 2: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Feeling happy

When my heart got beating

On a Sunday afternoon

Small town girl

I dreamt of breezes

Going through the treeses and

Stars were still illumed

Small town girl

I have three hearts

That I keep apart

Trying to relate

Small town girl

To normal feelings

And the nighttime reelings

And some absynthe drunk so late

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

My small town girl

I'm just a small town girl

Small town girl

Small town girl

[Verse 3: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

The cook got drunk

And all the whores they shrunk

Onto the size of dessert plates

Small town girl

But me, I am happy

'Cause I got my little nappy

And some opium to set me straight

Small town girl

I'm just a small town girl

Who wants to give it a whirl

While my looks still hold me straight

Small town girl

Small town girl

Straight up to illusion

And fantasy’s fusion

Of reality mixed with drink

Small town girl

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

I'm just a small town girl

Who's gonna give life a whirl

Looking at the Brandenburg Gate

Small town girl

I'm just a small town girl

Giving life a whirl

Looking, looking

Small town girl

At the Brandenburg Ga-a-a-a-a-a-te

I'm just a small town girl

Small town girl

Small town girl, yeah, yeah

Small town girl

I'm just a small town girl

Small town girl

[Verse 1: Lou Reed]

I am a chorus of the voices

That gather up the magnets, set before me

I attract you and repel you

A science of the heart

And blood and meaning

The coldness of most beauties is a challenge that our youth must quickly conquer

There is no time for guilt

Or second guessing, second guessing

Based on feeling

I am the truth, the beauty

That causes you to cross your sacred boundaries

I have no morals, some think me cheap

And someone who despises

The normalcy of heartbreak, the purity of love

But I worship the young and just formed angel

Who sits upon the pin of lust

Everything else bores me

[Pre-Chorus: Lou Reed]

I want to see your suicide

I want to see you give it up

Your life of reason

I want you on the floor

And in a coffin your soul shaking

I want to have you doubting

Every meaning you've amassed like a fortune

Oh, throw it away

For worship of someone who actively despises you

For worship of someone who actively despises you

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

I am the root

I am the progress

I'm the aggressor

I am the tablet

These ten stories

[Verse 2: Lou Reed]

Worship, worship

Pain and evil have their place sitting here beside me

I offer them to you as servants

Of the gold that you must give

Pain and evil have their place sitting here beside me

And I will offer them, I offer them to you

As servants of the gold that you must give to me

[Pre-Chorus: Lou Reed]

I want to see your suicide

I want to see you give it up

Give it up, your, your life of reason

I want to see you on the floor

And in a coffin, soul shaking, soul shaking

I want to have you doubting

Every meaning you've amassed like a fortune

Like a fortune, throw it away

For worship of someone who actively despises you

Who actively despises you

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

I am the view

I am the table

I am the view, I am the table

I am all this

I am the root

The progress

The aggressor

I am the table

I am the ten stories

I am the table

I am, I am, I am, I am

I am

[Instrumental Outro]

[Intro]

Pumping blood, pumping blood

Pumping blood, pumping blood

Pumping blood, pumping blood

Pumping blood, pumping blood

[Verse 1]

If I pump out blood in the sunshine

Oil on the wheel

That is blasted and busted away

A nail or a little piece of glass

A little piece of glass, a little piece of glass

Swarming like bees over the air

Off the pump, off the thing

The blood that I’m pumping away

Like bees over the air

Off the pump, off the thing

The blood that I’m pumping away

[Verse 2]

Off the pump, off the thing

The blood that I’m pumping away

If I pump blood in the sunshine

And you wear a leather box with azaleas, and I pump more blood

And it seeps through my skin

Will you adore the river?

The stream, the trickle

The tributary of my heart!

As I pump more blood

And it seeps through my skin

Will you adore the river?

The stream, the trickle

The tributary of my heart!

[Bridge]

If I’m pumping blood

Like a common state worker

If I waggle my ass like a dark prostitute

Would you think less of me

And my coagulating heart?

Waggle my ass like a dark prostitute

Coagulating heart

Pumping blood

C'mon James!

[Verse 3]

Would you top me off?

Would you top me off as I deepen a curtsy?

While you yell out, “mercy”?

We grow apart

Would you rip and cut me?

Use a knife on me?

Be shocked at the boldness, the coldness of this little heart

Tied up in leather, would you take the measure

Of the blood that I pump in the manic confusion of love?

[Outro]

Supreme violation, supreme violation

“Oh, ah, ah, ah Jack I beseech you!”

“Oh, Jack I beseech you!”

Supreme violation

Blood in the foyer, the bathroom, the tea room, the kitchen, with her knives splayed

I will swallow your sharpest cutter

Like a colored man’s dick

Blood spurting from me!

“Oh Jack, Jack I beseech…!”

“Jack, I beseech you, I beseech…!”

In the end it was an ordinary heart

“Oh Jack I beseech you!”

As I scream out my pain

In the end it was an ordinary heart!

In the end, in the end

In the end it was an ordinary heart

“Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack I beseech you!”

Supreme violation... Oh

“Jack, Jack, Jack I beseech you!”

I call out your name!

Blood in the foyer, the bathroom, the tea room, the kitchen, and knives splayed

I swallow your sharpest cutter

Like a colored man’s dick

Blood spurting from me!

Blood spurting from me!

“Oh Jack"

"Oh Jack I beseech you”

In the end it was an ordinary heart

In the end it was an ordinary heart

Pumping blood

[Verse 1]

I'm built like you are

I have a dress and a train

Your snake cold lips make a harsh straight line

That echoes through my brain

You're perfect

Let me lift a glass high

Let me follow in your footsteps

Let me follow in your sigh

Let me follow in your sigh

[Verse 2]

I'm a woman who likes men

But this is something else

I've never felt such stirrings

I feel like I was someone else

I wish you could tie me up and beat me

Crush me like a kick

A bleeding strap across my back

Some blood that you could kiss

[Refrain]

Oh kiss away, oh kiss away

I wish there was a strap of blood

That you could kiss away

I wish there was a strap of blood

That you could kiss away

[Verse 4]

Tie me with a scarf and jewels

Put a bloody gag to my teeth

I beg you to degrade me

Is there waste that I could eat?

I am a secret lover, I am your little girl

Please spit into my mouth

I'm forever in your swirl

You are heartless and I love that

You have no use of me

But I open the sticks, sticky legs I bear

And then insert a fist, an arm

Some lost appendage

Please open me, I beg

[Bridge]

You are my Goliath

You are my Goliath

And I am Mistress Dread

Oh, I am Mistress Dread

Oh, I am Mistress Dread

Open and release me

I love you in my head

[Refrain]

Oh, kiss away, kiss away

Kiss away, kiss away

All I ask, my baby

Kiss away

All I ask, my baby

Kiss away

[Verse 1: Lou Reed]

You can't put a butterfly in a jar

If the effort's too high no matter who you are

You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars

It doesn't matter who you are

[Refrain: Lou Reed]

Iced honey

Iced honey

[Verse 2: Lou Reed]

Now me, I've tried a million tricks

To make life cold and make it stick

Not running heat that flames then out

But the proud piece of ice that always floats

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

In iced honey

Iced honey (Iced honey!)

[Verse 3: Lou Reed]

If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee

If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be

If no matter how much soul and heart I put to the wood

If a flaming heart is not that good

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Iced honey

Iced honey (Iced honey!)

[Verse 4: Lou Reed]

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar

If violence marks your final hour

If you make others feel like jam

Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb

If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout

And your oxygen starts to run out

If your final gasp has the recipe wrong

And instead of hello you say so long

If your energy starts to leak out

And people wonder what you're all about

A heartbreaker with an unattached heart

The story of love gives them all a start

And me, I've always been this way

Not by choice, just this way

I can't put my honey pot in a jar

Or a heart or a fist of a-some young boy

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar

No wonder, no need to wonder

Where you are

It might seem like Hell, the river Styx

Your affection never sticks

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

A butterfly heart

Flies right past you

There is nothing to say

Nothing to do

See if the ice will melt for you

[Outro: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

Iced honey

Iced honey

Oh, iced honey

Iced honey

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

See if the ice will melt for you

Iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)

Iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)

Oooh, iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)

See if the ice will melt for you

Iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)

Oh, iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)

Iced honey

[Instrumental]

[Refrain]

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on thee

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

[Verse 1]

I have a passionate heart

It can tear us apart

I have the loves of many men

But I don’t love any of them

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on thee

Why do I cheat on me, why

Why do I cheat on me, why

Come on!

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on thee

Why do I cheat on me

[Verse 2]

You have your feelings I have mine

I spit upon you and change my mind

I have many hearts to break

And many, many, many more to take

Let the light of stars pour out

Like a candle in a spout

Let the wick recede and break

Let the starlight radiate

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on thee

Why do I desecrate me?

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

[Verse 3]

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I piss my dreams?

That's because that's what it is

I have the drive, I got the scope

If I, if I, if I, could I give you a rope

Your love means zero to me

I’m a passionate-less wave upon the sea

Passionate-less wave upon the sea

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Why, why, why do you cheat on me

Why, why, why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on myself?

Well, I got nobody else!

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat on me?

WHY?! Do I cheat on myself?

Well, well, well, I really have nobody else

Why do you cheat

Why do you cheat on me

Why do you cheat, cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Your love means zero to me

Why do I cheat on me

Your love means zero to me

Why do I cheat on myself

Why, why, why do you cheat, cheat on me

Well, I got nobody else!

Why do I cheat on me

Your love means zero to me

Why do you cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on myself

Your love means zero to me

Ah, your love means zero to me

Why do I cheat on me?

Why do I cheat on myself?

Cheat on, why do I cheat on ya?

I really got nobody else

Why do I cheat on thee

Why do I cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me

Why do I cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me?

[Verse 4: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

I’m only young once!

I want to taste it all and have fun!

I have no real feelings in my soul!

Where most have passion I got a hole!

I really got nobody else

I want lovers like the rain

So many of them, so much the same

Why do I cheat on me

You say you love me, I know it’s true

But I, I, I don’t love you

[Refrain: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]

Why do I cheat on me

Why do you cheat on me

Your love means zero to me

Why do I cheat on me

Passionate-less wave

Why do I cheat on me

Your love means zero

Your love means zero

Your love means zero to me
