《Keep Away》歌词

[00:00:00] Keep Away (避开) - Lou Reed (卢·里德)

[00:00:00] Written by：Michael Fonfara/Lou Reed

[00:00:14] You keep your jealousy and your snide remarks to yourself

[00:00:18] You know that I'm not seeing anybody else

[00:00:22] You just keep your ear down to the ground

[00:00:25] Yell your head off if you hear a sound

[00:00:29] Here's a whistle a badge and a phone

[00:00:32] You can arrest me if I'm not at home

[00:00:35] And if I don't keep my word I swear

[00:00:38] I'll keep away

[00:00:49] Here's some books and a puzzle by Escher

[00:00:52] Here's Shakespeare's measure for measure

[00:00:56] Here's a balloon a rubber band and a bag

[00:00:59] Why don't you blow them up if you think you've been had

[00:01:03] Here's a castle a paper dragon and a moat

[00:01:06] An earring a toothbrush and a cloak

[00:01:10] And if I don't keep my word I swear

[00:01:12] I'll keep away

[00:01:16] I swear I'll keep away from all we've ever done

[00:01:19] I'll keep away the good times I'll keep away the fun

[00:01:22] I swear I'll join the army or maybe the marines

[00:01:26] I'll start to wear designer suits and put away my jeans

[00:01:29] I swear that I'll keep away from all my old-time friends

[00:01:33] I'll throw away my records I'll try to make amends

[00:01:36] I swear I'll give up gambling and playing with the rent

[00:01:39] I'll give up food and drinking I'll give up a life ill-spent

[00:01:50] Here's a yardstick you can measure me by

[00:01:53] Here's a coupon maybe there's something you want to buy

[00:01:57] Here's a bandied in case you cut your feet

[00:02:00] Here's a rubber mallet you can use on your front teeth

[00:02:04] Here's a gun no one uses anymore

[00:02:07] And a bracelet made of some expensive ore

[00:02:11] And if I don't keep my word

[00:02:13] You won't see me anymore

[00:02:17] I swear I'll keep away from dignity and pride

[00:02:20] I'll keep away from abstracts I'll keep it all inside

[00:02:24] Well I'll just wrap me up in butter and melt me on a shelf

[00:02:27] I'll fry in my own juices I'll become somebody else

[00:02:30] Well I'll just swear to keep away from everything that's good

[00:02:34] I'll lie down in the gutter where I really should

[00:02:37] I swear I'll light a candle to every modern foe

[00:02:41] I swear I'll close the book on this and not see you anymore

[00:02:44] 'Cause I just got to get away
