Lou Reed - Rock Minuet Lyrics
Paralyzed by hatred and a piss ugly soulIf he murdered his father, he thought hed become wholeWhile listening at night to an old radioWhere they danced to the rock minuetIn the gay bars in the back of the barHe consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floorWhile the jukebox played backbeats, he sniffed coke off a jarWhile they danced to a rock minuetSchool was a waste, he was meant for the streetBut school was the only way, the army could be beatThe two whores sucked his nipples til he came on their feetAs they danced to the rock minuetHe dreamt that his father was sunk to his kneesHis leather belt tied so tight that it was hard to breatheAnd the studs from his jacket were as cold as a breezeAs he danced to a rock minuetHe pictured the bedroom where he heard the first cryHis mother on all fours, ah, with his father behindAnd her yell hurt so much, he had wished hed gone blindAnd rocked to a rock minuetIn the back of the warehouse were a couple of guysThey had tied someone up and sewn up their eyesAnd he got so excited he came on his thighsWhen they danced to the rock minuetOn avenue b, someone cruised him one nightHe took him in an alley and then pulled a knifeAnd thought of his father, as he cut his windpipeAnd finally danced to the rock minuetIn the curse of the alley, the thrill of the streetOn the bitter cold docks where the outlaws all meetIn euphoria drug in euphoria heatYou could dance to the rock minuetIn the thrill of the needle and anonymous sexYou could dance to the rock minuetSo when you dance hard, slow dancingWhen you dance hard, slow dancingWhen you dance hard, slow dancingWhen you dance to the rock minuet
