"Walk And Talk It"
===================
album _Lou Reed_
(Lou Reed, 1972)
written by Lou Reed
===================
I got hearts, ah, in my looney tunes
I got dreams and you do, too
I got ten wheel drive
to pick you up, up to your ears, oh
I got refined carbon in my eyelids, dear
I've got no one to love and no one to fear
You better walk it
and talk it less you lose that beat
You better lose yourself mama
and knock yourself right off of your feet
If you're moving too fast
don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
you better walk it as you talk it less you lose that beat
oh
I've got dimes in my shoes real nice
I've got bells that are laid on ice
I've got dreams
let me mix it with a little gin
I got cool when I'm cold and warm when I'm hot
but me is the one thing baby, you ain't got
You got to walk it
and talk it less you lose that beat
You better lose yourself mama
and knock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast
now don't you want it to last, ah
You better walk it, talk it
you better walk it as you talk it less you lose that beat
You better walk it
and talk it less you lose that beat
You better lose yourself mama
and knock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast
now don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
you better walk it as you talk it less you lose that beat
Ah-huh-huh
oh alright, ooohhh
