《The Proposition》歌词

[00:00:01] The Propostion - Lou Reed

[00:00:14] You can't have the flower without the root

[00:00:17] You can't have the fire without the soot

[00:00:20] Even a stripper needs her red tasseled suit

[00:00:23] And we were meant to be

[00:00:27] In every war the North needs the south

[00:00:30] And everyone knows all assholes have a mouth

[00:00:33] Without mystery what would writers talk about

[00:00:36] And we were meant to be

[00:00:42] An apple needs pits the way melons need seed

[00:00:46] Your foot needs your arm and your arm needs your knee

[00:00:49] And one of these days I know you will need me

[00:00:52] We were meant to be ooohhh we were meant to be

[00:01:11] You're mother's an ogre your father's a scamp

[00:01:14] You won't see my parents honored on any stamp

[00:01:17] But just like a bulb screws into a lamp

[00:01:21] We were meant to be

[00:01:27] The way the AIDS needs a vaccine somewhere a vaccine needs

[00:01:30] AIDS The way a victim needs life a life needs to be saved

[00:01:34] And out of all of this will come a better way

[00:01:37] We were meant to be

[00:01:40] So you can go to Europe Los Angeles or Mars

[00:01:43] You can stand on a building throwing cinder blocks on cars

[00:01:46] You can practice deep voodoo but like me you'll see

[00:01:53] We were meant to be we were meant to be

[00:02:16] We were meant to be

[00:02:22] We were meant to be

[00:02:28] We were meant to be

[00:02:35] We were meant to be

[00:02:41] We were meant to be

[00:02:48] We were meant to be

[00:02:54] We were meant to be
