Lulu Lyrics - Lou Reed

Iced Honey Lyrics 

You can't put a butterfly in a jar 

If the effort's too high no matter who you are 

You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars 

It doesn't matter who you are 

Iced honey 

Now me I've tried a million tricks 

To make life cold and make it stick 

Not running heat that flames then out 

But the proud piece of ice that always floats 

Iced honey 

If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee 

If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be 

If no matter how much soul and heart 

I put to the wood 

If a flaming heart is not that good 

Iced honey

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar 

If violence mars your final hour 

If you make others feel like jam 

Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb 

If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout 

And your oxygen starts to run out 

If your final gasp has the recipe wrong 

And instead of hello you say so long 

If your energy starts to leak out 

And people wonder what you're all about 

A heartbreaker with an unattached heart 

The story of love gives them all a start 

And me, I've always been this way 

Not by choice, just this way 

I can't put my honey pot in a jar 

Or a heart or a fist of some young boy 

Photos 

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar 

No wonder no need to wonder where you are 

It might seem like hell, the River Styx 

Your affection never sticks 

No matter what you say, no matter what you do 

A butterfly heart flies right past you 

There's nothing to say, nothing to do 

See if the ice will melt for you 

Iced honey
