ANDY'S CHEST
Lou Reid


If I could be anything in the world
that flew
I would be a bat and come swooping after
you
And if the last time you were here, things
were a bit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes loose their skins and
their hearts
And all the missionaries loose their
bark
All the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains boulder after
you

If I could be anything of the things in this
world that bite
Instead of being a tethered ocelot on a
leash
I'd rather be your kite
And be tied to the end of your string

And flying in the air, babe, at night

Because you know what they say about honey
bears
When you shave off all their baby hair

You've got a hairy minded big bare bear

And all the bells are rolling out for
you
And stones are all erupting out for
you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying
after you

Yesterday, Daisy Mae end Biff were grooving
down the street
And just like in a movie, her hands became
her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
Which meant she tasted what she'd speak
But the funny thing is what happened to
her nose
It grew until it reached all of her
toes
Now, when people say her feet smell, they
mean her nose
And curtains laced with diamonds, dear,
for you
And kingdom's Christian sailors (soldiers),
dear, for you
And melting ice cap mountains, dear, for
you
And knights in flaming silver robes for
you
And bats, that with a kiss turn prince
for you
Swoop, swoop, oh, baby, rock, rock ...
