PALE BLUE EYES
(Lou Reed)
The Velvet Underground


Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I’ve had but could’nt keep
I’ve had but could’nt keep

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
I’d put you in the mirror I put in front of me
I’d put in front of me

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can’t stand up
Down for you is up

It was good what we did yesterday
And I’d do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves that you’re my best friend
But it’s truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
