Keep Away - Lou Reed[00:00:00]
Written by:Lou Reed/Michael Fonfara[00:00:02]
You keep your jealousy and your snide remarks to yourself[00:00:14]
You know that I'm not seeing anybaby else[00:00:18]
You just keep your ear down to the ground[00:00:21]
Yell your head off if you hear a sound[00:00:25]
Heres a whistle a badge and a phone[00:00:28]
You can arrest me if I'm not at home[00:00:32]
And if I don't keep my word I swear[00:00:35]
I'll keep away[00:00:37]
Heres some books and a puzzle by escher[00:00:49]
Heres shakespeares measure for measure[00:00:52]
Heres a balloon a rubber band and a bag[00:00:56]
Why don't you blow them up if you think you've been had[00:00:59]
Heres a castle a paper dragon and a moat[00:01:02]
An earring a toothbrush and a cloak[00:01:06]
And if I don't keep my word I swear[00:01:09]
I'll keep away[00:01:12]
I swear I'll keep away from all weve ever done[00:01:15]
I'll keep away the good times I'll keep away the fun[00:01:19]
I swear I'll join the army or maybe the marines[00:01:22]
I'll start to wear designer suits and put away my jeans[00:01:26]
I swear that I'll keep away from all my old-time friends[00:01:29]
I'll throw away my records I'll try to make amends[00:01:32]
I swear I'll give up gambling and playing with the rent[00:01:36]
I'll give up food and drinking[00:01:39]
I'll give up a life I'll-spent[00:01:41]
Heres a yardstick you can measure me by[00:01:50]
Heres a coupon maybe theres something you want to buy[00:01:53]
Heres a bandied in case you cut your feet[00:01:56]
Heres a rubber mallet you can use on your front teeth[00:02:00]
Heres a gun no one uses anymore[00:02:03]
And a bracelet made of some expensive ore[00:02:06]
And if I don't keep my word[00:02:10]
You won't see me anymore[00:02:13]
I swear I'll keep away from dignity and pride[00:02:17]
I'll keep away from abstracts I'll keep it all inside[00:02:20]
Well I'll just wrap me up in butter[00:02:23]
And melt me on a shelf[00:02:25]
I'll fry in my own juices I'll become somebody else[00:02:27]
Well I'll just swear to[00:02:30]
Keep away from everything that's good[00:02:31]
I'll lie down in the gutter where I really should[00:02:34]
I swear I'll light a candle to every modern foe[00:02:37]
I swear I'll close the book on this[00:02:40]
And not see you anymore[00:02:42]
'Cause I just got to get away[00:02:43]
