Candy Says
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 going to watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm going to 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 the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste
Of what will be" candy says
"I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind"
"I'm going to watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm going to watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me"
