Candy Says Songtext
von Lou Reed

Candy says, "I′ve come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world"
Candy says, "I'd like to know completely
What others so discreetly talk about"

I′m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by, maybe when I'm older
What do you think I′d see, if I could walk away from me?


Candy says, "I hate those quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be"
Candy says, "I hate those big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind"

I′m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by, oh, maybe when I′m older
What do you think I'd see, if I could walk away from me?

Oh, over my shoulder
Oh, maybe when I′m older

Ooh, over my shoulder
Ooh! Maybe when I'm older
