Lou Reed

They tied his arms behind his back
To teach him how to swim
They put blood in his coffee
And milk in his gin
They stood over the soldier
In the midst of the squalor
There was war in his body
And it caused his brain to holler
Make the sacrifice
Mutilate my face
If you need someone to kill
Im a man without a will
Wash the razor in the rain
Let me luxuriate in pain
Please dont set me free
Death means a lot to me
The pain was lean and it made him scream
He knew he was alive
He put a pin through the nipples on his chest
He thought he was a saint
Ive made love to my mother, killed my father and brother
What am I to do
When a sin goes too far, its like a runaway car
