《The Proposition(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Propostion (LP版) - Lou Reed

[00:00:13] You can't have the flower without the root

[00:00:16] You can't have the fire without the soot

[00:00:20] Even a stripper needs her red tasseled suit

[00:00:23] And we were meant to be

[00:00:27] In every war the north needs the south

[00:00:29] And everyone knows all assholes have a mouth

[00:00:33] Without mystery what would writers talk about

[00:00:36] And we were meant to be

[00:00:42] An apple needs pits the way melons need seed

[00:00:45] Your foot needs your arm

[00:00:46] And your arm needs your knee

[00:00:49] And one of these days

[00:00:50] I know you will need me

[00:00:52] We were meant to be

[00:00:55] We were meant to be

[00:01:11] You're mother's an ogre your father's a scamp

[00:01:14] You won't see my parents honored on any stamp

[00:01:17] But just like a bulb screws into a lamp

[00:01:20] We were meant to be

[00:01:27] The way the aids needs a vaccine

[00:01:28] Somewhere a vaccine needs

[00:01:30] Aids the way a victim needs life

[00:01:33] A life needs to be saved

[00:01:34] And out of all of this

[00:01:35] Will come a better way

[00:01:37] We were meant to be

[00:01:40] So you can go to europe

[00:01:41] Los angeles or mars

[00:01:43] You can stand on a building

[00:01:44] Throwing cinder blocks on cars

[00:01:46] You can practice deep voodoo

[00:01:48] But like me you'll see

[00:01:49] We were meant to be

[00:01:53] We were meant to be

[00:02:09] We were meant to be

[00:02:16] We were meant to be

[00:02:22] We were meant to be

[00:02:28] We were meant to be

[00:02:34] We were meant to be

[00:02:41] We were meant to be

[00:02:47] We were meant to be

[00:02:53] We were meant to be
