Brandenburg Gate Lyrics - Lulu - Lou Reed & Metallica

I would cut my legs and tits off 

When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski 

In the dark of the moon 

It made me dream of Nosferatu 

Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau 

Oh wouldn't it be lovely 

I was thinking Peter Lorre 

When things got pretty gory as I 

Crossed to the Brandenburg Gate 

I was feeling snappy perhaps I'd been napping 

And I'd just ate 

A following heart can tear you apart 

On a midnight to 8 shift 

A graveyard romance can only give one chance 

As the tombstones weave and breathe 

Feeling happy when my heart got beating 

On a Sunday afternoon 

I dreamt of breezes going through the treeses 

And stars were still illumed 

I have three hearts that I keep apart 

Trying to relate 

To normal feelings and the nightime reelings 

And some absynthe drunk so late 

The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk 

Onto the size of dessert plates 

But me I'm happy cause I got my little nappy 

And some opium to set me straight 

I'm just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl 

While my looks still hold me straight 

Straight up to illusion and fantasy's fusion 

Of reality mixed with drink 

I'm just a small town girl who's gonna give life a whirl 

Looking at the Brandenburg Gate
