โหลดเพลง mp3 Baton Rouge - Lou Reed

When I think of you

Baton rouge

I think of a mariachi band

I think of sixteen
And a crisp green football field

I think of a girl

I never had

When I think of you
Baton rouge
I think of a back seat in a car

Windows are foggy so are we

As the police asked for our ID

So helpless

So helpless
Ooohhh
Ooohhh
So helpless

Ooohhh
So helpless

Ooohhh
So helpless

So helpless

Well I once had a car
Lost it in a divorce

The judge was a woman

Of course

She said give her the car
And the house and your taste

Or else

I set the trial date

So now when I think of you

Baton rouge

And the deep southern belles

With their touch

I wonder where love ends
And hate starts to blush
In the fields in the swamps in the rush

In the terra cotta
Cobwebs of your mind

When did you start seeing
Me as a spider spinning web

Of malicious intent and you as poor
Poor me

At the fire at the joint
This disinterred and broken mount

In the bedroom in the
House where we were unmarried

So helpless so helpless

So helpless

So helpless so helpless

So helpless

When was I the villain in your heart

Putting the brake on your start

You slapped my face and cried and screamed

Thats what marriage came to mean
The bitterest ending of a dream

You wanted children and I did not

Was that what it was all about

You might get a laugh when you hear me shout

You might get a laugh when you hear me shout

I wish I had

So helpless so helpless

So helpless

So helpless so helpless

So helpless

Sometimes when
I think of baton rouge

I see us with two
And a half strapping sons

One and a half flushed
Daughters preparing to marry

And two fat grandsons I can barely carry

Daddy uncle
Family gathered there for grace

A dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space
The dream recedes
In the morning with a bad aftertaste

And I'm back in the big city
Worn from the race of the chase
What a waste

So thanks for the card
The announcement of child
And I must say you
And sam look great

Your daughters gleaming in that
White wedding dress with pride

Sad to say
I could never bring
That to you that wide smile

So I try not to think of baton rouge
Or of a of a of a mariachi band
Or of sixteen and
A crisp green football field

And the girl and the girl I never had

So helpless so helpless

So helpless

So helpless so helpless

So helpless
