Open House Lyrics - Songs For Drella - Lou Reed

Please 

Come over to 81st street I'm in the apartment above the bar 

You know you can't miss it, it's across from the subway 

And the tacky store with the mylar scarves 

My skin's as pale as outdoors moon 

My hair's silver like a tiffany watch 

I like lots of people around me but don't kiss hello 

And please don't touch 

It's a czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me 

The way to make friends andy is invite them up for tea 

Open house, open house

I've got a lot of cats, here's my favorite 

She's lady called sam 

I made a paper doll of her - you can have it 

That's what I did when I had st.vitus dance 

It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother pased on to me 

Give people little presents so they remember me 

Open house, open house 

Someone bring the vegetables, someone please bring heat 

My mother showed up yesterday, we need something to eat 

I think I got a job today they want me to draw shoes 

The ones I drew were old and used 

They told me - draw something new 

Open house, open house 

Photos 

Fly me to the moon, fly me to a star 

But there are no stars in the new york sky 

They're all on the ground 

You scared yourself with music, I scared myself with paint 

It almost made me faint 

Open house, open house
