Black Angel's Death Song (mono) Lyrics - The Velvet Underground & Nico

The myriad choices of his fate 

Set themselves out upon a plate 

For him to choose 

What had he to lose 

Not a ghost bloodied country 

All covered with sleep 

Where the black angel did weep 

Not an old city street in the east 

Gone to choose 

And wandering's brother 

Walked on through the night 

With his hair in his face 

On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T. 

The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn 

Until we said so long 

To his skull-shrill yell 

Shining brightly red-rimmed and 

Red-lined with the time 

Infused with the choice of the mind 

On ice skates scraping chunks 

From the bells 

Cut mouth bleeding razor's 

Forgetting the pain 

Antiseptic remains cool goodbye 

So you fly 

To the cozy brown snow of the east 

Gone to choose, choose again 

Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget 

Where you come from 

The stools of your eyes 

Serve to realize fame, choose again 

And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse 

For the loss of a horse 

Went the bowels and a tail of a rat 

Come again, choose to go 

And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame 

Have your head bobbed and weaved 

Choose a side to be on 

If the stone glances off 

Split didactics in two 

Leave the colors of the mouse trails 

Don't scream, try between 

If you choose, if you choose, try to lose 

For the loss of remain come and start 

Start the game I che che che che I 

Che che ka tak koh 

Choose to choose 

Choose to choose, choose to go
