The Raven (Live) - Lou Reed[00:00:00]

Once upon a midnight dreary[00:03:46]

As I pondered weak and weary[00:03:47]

Over many a quaint and curious[00:03:50]

Volume of forgotten lore[00:03:51]

While I nodded nearly napping[00:03:54]

Suddenly there came a tapping[00:03:56]

As of some one gently rapping[00:03:57]

Rapping at my chamber door[00:04:00]

'Tis some visitor I muttered[00:04:02]

Tapping at my chamber door[00:04:04]

Only this[00:04:05]

Only this and nothing more[00:04:08]

Muttering I got up weakly[00:04:13]

Always I've had trouble sleeping[00:04:14]

Stumbling upright my mind racing[00:04:16]

Furtive thoughts flowing once more[00:04:18]

I there hoping for some sunrise[00:04:20]

Happiness would be a surprise[00:04:23]

Loneliness no longer a prize[00:04:25]

Rapping at my chamber door[00:04:27]

Seeking out the clever bore[00:04:28]

Lost in dreams forever more[00:04:29]

Only this and nothing more[00:04:31]

Hovering my pulse was racing[00:04:41]

Stale tobacco my lips tasting[00:04:43]

Scotch sitting upon my basin[00:04:45]

Remnants of the night before[00:04:46]

Came again[00:04:49]

Infernal tapping on the door[00:04:50]

In my mind jabbing[00:04:51]

Is it in or outside rapping[00:04:52]

Calling out to me once more[00:04:54]

The fit and fury of Lenore[00:04:55]

Nameless here forever more[00:04:58]

And the silken sad uncertain[00:05:02]

Rustling of the purple curtain[00:05:04]

Thrilled me filled me[00:05:06]

With fantastic terrors never felt before[00:05:08]

So that now oh wind stood breathing[00:05:10]

Hoping yet to calm my breathing[00:05:16]

'Tis some visitor entreating[00:05:18]

Entrance at my chamber door[00:05:20]

Some lost visitor entreating[00:05:21]

Entrance at my chamber door[00:05:23]

This it is and nothing more[00:05:25]

Deep into the darkness peering[00:05:27]

Long I stood there[00:05:29]

Wondering fearing[00:05:30]

Doubting dreaming fantasies[00:05:32]

No mortal dared to dream before[00:05:33]

But the silence was unbroken[00:05:35]

And the stillness gave no token[00:05:37]

And the only word there spoken[00:05:38]

Was the whispered name Lenore[00:05:39]

This I thought[00:05:42]

And out loud whispered from my lips[00:05:43]

The foul name festered[00:05:45]

Echoing itself[00:05:46]

Merely this and nothing more[00:05:47]

Back into my chamber turning[00:05:51]

Every nerve within me burning[00:05:52]

When once again I heard a tapping[00:05:54]

Somewhat louder than before[00:05:55]

Surely said I[00:05:56]

Surely that is something at my iron staircase[00:05:57]

Open the door to see what threat is[00:05:59]

Open the window free the shutters[00:06:01]

Let us this mystery explore[00:06:03]

Oh bursting heart be still this once[00:06:04]

And let this mystery explore[00:06:07]

It is the wind[00:06:08]

It is the wind and nothing more[00:06:09]

Just one epithet I muttered as Inside[00:06:11]

I gagged and shuddered[00:06:14]

When with manly flirt and flutter[00:06:14]

In there flew a stately raven[00:06:16]

Sleek and ravenous as any foe[00:06:20]

Not the least obeisance made he[00:06:22]

Not a minutes gesture towards me[00:06:25]

Of recognition or politeness[00:06:27]

But perched above my chamber door[00:06:33]

This fowl and salivating visage[00:06:35]

Insinuating with its knowledge[00:06:37]

Perched above my chamber door[00:06:38]

Silent sat and staring[00:06:40]

Nothing more[00:06:41]

Askance askew[00:06:42]

The self's sad fancy smiles at you I swear[00:06:47]

At this savage viscous countenance it wears[00:06:50]

Though you show here shore and shaven[00:06:55]

And I admit myself forlorn and craven[00:06:57]

Ghastly grim and ancient raven[00:06:59]

Wandering from the opiate shores[00:07:02]

Tell me[00:07:03]

Tell me[00:07:04]

Tell me what thy lordly name is[00:07:04]

That you are not nightmare sewage[00:07:06]

Some dire powder drink or Inhalation[00:07:07]

Framed from flames of downtown lore[00:07:09]

And the raven sitting lonely[00:07:11]

Staring sickly at my male sex only[00:07:13]

That one word[00:07:15]

As if his soul in that one word[00:07:16]

He did out pour pathetic[00:07:17]

Nothing farther than he uttered[00:07:23]

Not a feather then he fluttered[00:07:25]

Till finally was I that muttered as I stared[00:07:26]

Dully at the floor like you[00:07:28]

Other friends have flown and left me[00:07:31]

Flown as each and every hope has flown before[00:07:34]

As you no doubt will before tomorrow[00:07:39]

Then I felt the air grow denser[00:07:45]

Perfumed from some unseen incense[00:07:47]

As though accepting angelic intrusion[00:07:50]

When in fact I felt collusion[00:07:53]

Before the guise of false memories respite[00:07:55]

Respite[00:07:57]

Respite through the haze of cocaine's glory[00:07:58]

I smoke and smoke the blue vial's glory[00:08:01]

To forget[00:08:03]

At once[00:08:05]

The base Lenore[00:08:06]

Prophet said I thing of evil[00:08:07]

Prophet still if bird or devil[00:08:09]

By that heaven that bend above us[00:08:11]

By that god we both Ignore[00:08:12]

Tell this soul with sorrow laden[00:08:14]

Willful and destructive Intent[00:08:16]

Tell me how had lapsed a pure heart lady[00:08:19]

To the greediest of needs[00:08:21]

Sweaty arrogant dick less liar[00:08:23]

Who ascribed to nothing higher[00:08:26]

Than a jab from prick to needle[00:08:28]

Straight to betrayal and disgrace[00:08:30]

The conscience showing not a trace[00:08:32]

Be that word our sign of parting[00:08:35]

Bird or fiend I yelled upstarting[00:08:37]

Get thee back into the tempest[00:08:39]

Into the smoke filled bottle's shore[00:08:41]

Leave no black plume as a token[00:08:42]

Of the slime thy soul hath spoken[00:08:44]

Leave my loneliness unbroken[00:08:46]

Quit as those have quit before[00:08:49]

Take the talon from my heart[00:08:50]

And see that I can care no more[00:08:53]

Whatever mattered came before[00:08:54]

I vanish with the dead Lenore[00:08:56]

Quoth the raven nevermore[00:08:58]

Still is sitting silent sitting[00:09:00]

Above a painting silent painting[00:09:01]

Of the forever silenced whore[00:09:02]

And his eyes have all the seeming[00:09:04]

Of a demon's that is dreaming[00:09:05]

And the lamplight over him[00:09:06]

Streaming throws his shadow to the floor[00:09:08]

I love she who hates me more[00:09:10]

I love she who hates me more[00:09:12]

And my soul shall not be lifted from that shadow[00:09:14]

Nevermore[00:09:17]
