Lou Reed Dive (Dance)

it all happens on the east side of-a New York
i never been, but i read it in the Melody Maker
so i just sit at home, practise being cool
walking on the wild side, baby, i’m so free

beat me up, burn me alive
put me in the fridge, but i survive
i’m so happy, doing the Lou Reed dive

i wear a t-shirt, baby, with no sleeves
big black shades, with mirrors on the le-ens
i take my bike to Chelsea, visit Sex
i just might buy a pink mohair jumper

gnaw my fingers to the bone
inspect my erogenous zone
i’m so happy, doing the Lou Reed dive

well, don’t you want to be like me
all dressed up in PVC-hee?
stick a hosepipe down my jeans
causing lots of public scenes

i get high in mummy’s high-heeled shoes
just like Bette Davis used to do
my hair is cropped, i’m always chewing gum
Iggy of the Stooges is my hero

gnaw my fingers to the bone
inspect my erogenous zone
i’m so happy, doing the Lou Reed dive

i sit at home, i practise being mean
wanna be a punk when i’m 65
i even started walking like James Dean
seems so groovy, baby, not knowing if you’re alive

cut yourself and cut your hair
you’re the queen, and i don’t care
i’m so happy, doing the Lou Reed dive

don’t you want to be like me
all dressed up in PVC-hee?
my eyes are green, my hair is blond
i wear glasses like James Bond

stab yourself and cut your hair
bitching queen i don’t care
i’m so happy, doing the Lou Reed dive

(you know, you can)
beat me up, burn me alive
put me in the fridge, and i survive
i’m so happy, doing the Lou Reed dive

Lou Reed dive, baby
i do the Lou Reed dive.
