Goodby Massin a Chapel Bodily Terminatio — текст песни (Lou Reed)

Sitting on a hard chair try to sit straight

Sitting on a hard chair this moment wont wait

Listening to the speakers theyre talking about you

Look at all the people all the people you knew



Sitting with my back straight it becomes hard to hear

Some people are crying it becomes hard to hear

I dont think youd have liked it you would have made a joke

You would have made it easier youd say "tomorrow Im smoke"



Sitting on a hard chair how far we have come

Trying hard to listen to your friends who have come

Some of them are famous and some are just like me

Trying hard to listen trying hard to see



Sitting in a hard chair its over time to stand

Some people are crying I turn to grab your hand

Its your daughter saying thank you, you, you would have made a joke

"isnt this something," you say, "tomorrow Im smoke"
