Sweet Sister Ray



Velvet Underground - Sweet Sister Ray - Текст песни

Sweet Sister Ray went to a movie
That had come around
It was the biggest movie
That had ever come to town

Why this is the weirdest movie
I've seen in my days
I've never seen a stranger film anywhere

Why I must be dead
'cause I never felt this way ailve
Oh I've never felt this way
Since nineteen fifty-five
Just then Sister Ray
Felt a hand on her knee
[I'm] a young crippled orphan
And I come here constantly

Why it's just like a mental hospital
Those don't have any locks
Just then comes in the doctor
Giving us electroshocks

All the vaseline on your forehead
Makes you feel so nice
My hair stood up on end
And I thought I'd been froze(?) with a knife
Oh I'm so pretty
Purple earrings and all
No one knew you were crazy
That you told 'em

Just then I saw
A hole in the ground
And I jumped right in
'cause there was no one around

[long instrumental break into "Sister Ray"]

(Transcribed from original recording; La Cave, Cleveland, 28 April, 1968)
