Rock Minuet lyrics

Artist  : Lou Reed 
Song : Rock Minuet



 Send "Rock Minuet" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Paralyzed by hatred and a piss ugly soul
If he murdered his father, he thought he’d
become whole
While listening at night to an old radio
Where they danced to the rock minuet

In the gay bars in the back of the bar
He consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floor
While the jukebox played backbeats, he sniffed
coke off a jar
While they danced to a rock minuet

School was a waste, he was meant for the street
But school was the only way, the army could be
beat
The two whores sucked his nipples ’til he came
on their feet
As they danced to the rock minuet

He dreamt that his father was sunk to his knees
His leather belt tied so tight that it was hard
to breathe
And the studs from his jacket were as cold as a
breeze
As he danced to a rock minuet

He pictured the bedroom where he heard the first
cry
His mother on all fours, ah, with his father
behind
And her yell hurt so much, he had wished he’d
gone blind
And rocked to a rock minuet

In the back of the warehouse were a couple of
guys
They had tied someone up and sewn up their eyes
And he got so excited he came on his thighs
When they danced to the rock minuet

On avenue b, someone cruised him one night
He took him in an alley and then pulled a knife
And thought of his father, as he cut his
windpipe
And finally danced to the rock minuet

In the curse of the alley, the thrill of the
street
On the bitter cold docks where the outlaws all
meet
In euphoria drug in euphoria heat
You could dance to the rock minuet

In the thrill of the needle and anonymous sex
You could dance to the rock minuet

So when you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance hard, slow dancing
When you dance to the rock minuet
