Lou Reed: How Do You Speak To An Angel

aus dem Album: Growing Up In Public

Songtext:
A son who is cursed with a harridan mother Schaufenster Folie
Or a weak simpering father at best
Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives
Of filial love and incest
Ketten basteln
How does he speak to a
How does he speak to the prettiest girl
How does he talk to her
What does he say for an opening line Taufe Feier Köln
What does he say if he's shy

What do you do with your pragmatic passions
With your classically neurotic style Gestaltungen Leverkusen
How do you deal with your vague self-comprehension's
What do you do when you lie

How do you speak to a Tiger Tanga
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to her
How do you dance on the head of a pin
When you're on the outside looking in Bettalisten

How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a hotel kitzbuehl
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a Kaffeelikör
How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
You just say, hello, (hello) baby (hello)
...
Baby, angel, how do you talk to the prettiest girl, you say
Hello baby, hello baby, angel, angel, pretty little girl
Angel, angel ....
