The Black Angel's Death Song

Myriad had choice 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 GT 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 razors, forgetting the pain Antiseptic remains cool, good buy So you fly to the cozy brown snow of the east Gonna choose, choose again Sacrificials remain make it hard to forget Where you come from, the stools of your eyes serve to realize fame Choose again And Rovermans' refrain of the sacrilege recluse For the loss of a horse With 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 And if the stone glances off, split didactics in two Leave the color 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-che Ka-tah-ko Choose to choose Choose to choose Choose to go --- The Black Angel's Death Song - The Velvet Underground
