Lou Reed - The Tell-Tale Heart (Pt. 2) Lyrics
FuriousIt made me furiousA dull quick sound poundingLike a watch encased in cottonTick tockI knew that sound wellIt increased my furyThe beating of the old man's heartI scarcely breathed and refrainedMotionlessThe tattoo of the heartHellishIncreased and was extremeIt grew louderLouderI am nervous at this dead hour of the nightamid the dreadful silence of this old housethis sound excites me to uncontrollable wrathI thought someone would hear this soundI thought his heart would burstHis hour had comePlease open the doorOpen the doorThe old man has gone to the countryGone to the countryBut please search wellPlease search wellThese are his treasuresTreasuresSecure and undisturbedPlease sit and restYou must be fatiguedWild audacityPerfect triumphSo they chatChatOf familiar thingsI hear ringingRingingDo you not hear itNoIt is louderIt is making my head acheDo you not hear itNoNoNoI, I have a headacheThe day is longDo you not hear itNoDo you *****ing mock meDo you mock meThey knowDo you think meThey knowAn imbecileDo you think me a foolVillains dissemble no moreI admit the deedAdmit, AdmitHere, hereAdmitIt is the beatingof his most hideous heart
