Adventurer - Lou Reed[00:00:02]
You're an adventurer[00:00:34]
You sail across the oceans[00:00:37]
You climb the himalayas[00:00:38]
Seeking truth and beauty as a natural state[00:00:40]
You're a queen reborn[00:00:45]
Worshipped from above afar[00:00:47]
Some see you as an elixir[00:00:48]
An elemental natural seeking perfect grace[00:00:50]
In a catacomb[00:00:55]
Or cave of endless drawings[00:00:57]
Prehistoric or religious[00:00:59]
Your accomplishments prodigious[00:01:00]
Seeking out the perfect tone[00:01:03]
Your language so clear[00:01:07]
Your voice perfectly turning[00:01:09]
As in the city I sit yearning[00:01:10]
Blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars[00:01:12]
Or driving fast in foreign cars[00:01:13]
To capture your remains huh[00:01:15]
You're an adventurer[00:01:33]
A turban wet wrapped round your head[00:01:35]
On the mountainside they predict your death[00:01:37]
Oh how you fooled them all[00:01:40]
But subjects are a poor excuse[00:01:43]
When what you really wants a muse[00:01:45]
An inspirating knowledge[00:01:47]
Of what comes before[00:01:50]
Ooohhh speeds of light[00:01:53]
The momentary flicker[00:01:55]
Of a candle in its wicker basket[00:01:57]
Smoking wax facts[00:01:59]
Did you find that superior knowledge[00:02:01]
That eluded you in college[00:02:03]
Did you find that super vortex[00:02:05]
That could cause your cerebral cortex[00:02:06]
Ooohhh to lose its grip[00:02:09]
You're an adventurer[00:02:13]
You were out looking for meaning[00:02:15]
While the rest of us were steaming[00:02:17]
In an inspirating[00:02:18]
Ah urban pit[00:02:20]
An adventurer[00:02:22]
You enter as I'm dreaming[00:02:23]
I wish I'd never wake up[00:02:25]
Differentiating scheming from my one true love[00:02:27]
You're an adventurer[00:02:44]
You love the angles and the cherries[00:02:46]
The height and width of levies[00:02:48]
The natural bridge and tunnels of the human race[00:02:50]
You're an adventurer[00:02:54]
Nothing seem to scare you[00:02:56]
And if it does it won't dissuade you[00:02:58]
You just will not think about it[00:02:59]
You dismiss it and defocus[00:03:01]
You redefine the locus of your time in space race[00:03:03]
As you move further from me[00:03:08]
And though I understand the thinking[00:03:09]
And have often done the same thing[00:03:11]
I find parts of me gone[00:03:14]
You're an adventurer[00:03:17]
And though I'll surely miss you[00:03:19]
And of course I'll survive without you[00:03:21]
And maybe good will come of that[00:03:23]
But at this point ah[00:03:25]
I anticipate some grieving[00:03:27]
And although I know your leaving[00:03:29]
Is a necessary adjunct to what we both do[00:03:31]
An adventurer[00:03:35]
Splitting up the atom[00:03:37]
Splitting up the once was[00:03:39]
Splitting up the essence of our star-crossed fate[00:03:41]
None who meet you[00:03:46]
Do forget you my adventurer[00:03:47]
My adventurer my adventurer-venturer-venturer[00:03:49]
