lou reed - white prism lyrics
there’s a white prism with phony j-sm
spread across it’s face
and the soulful convicts forever interred
lose the smile across their faces
the smile that registered hopes or dreams
has proven just a waste
and i’m the indentured servant
forever in his place
i’m the indentured servant
forever in his place
i wish i built a cabinet
of shiny bolts and wood
secret draws and hiding places
sculpted out of wood
secret places, secret lies
in a desk lying alone
a secret letter written to you
to be read when you’re alone
a secret letter written to you
to be read when you’re alone
it says, i’m your indentured servant
i can no longer pretend
that i’m a lover or an equal
i’m not even a friend
i’m not good enough to serve you
i’m not good enough to stay
so it is that i beseech you
to please turn me away
so it is that i beseech you
to please turn me away
turn me away
turn me away
turn me away
i’m asking you to let me go
it hurts me when you’re sad
and i can not do better than this
which must surely make you mad
i’d be better off in your cabinet
or in a prison made of cloth
crouched beneath your dress i come
shooting little spurts
crouched beneath your dress i come
shooting little spurts
i’m your indentured servant
but even i have pride
in what i make or say or do
although i’ve lots to hide
i hide from freedom and i hide from you
’cause you’ve found me out
i belong in prison beneath your legs
in a cabinet that i’ve built
beneath a candle in a secret drawer
in a prison by a moat
i’m your indentured servant
and i’m asking you to leave
me outside this prison cell
where only you can breathe
i-i-i, i’m your indentured servant
but i’m asking you for this
please release me from this love
and do it with a kiss
i’m your indentured servant
i’m the one you’ll miss
do it with a kiss
do it with a kiss
do it with a kiss
i’m the one you’ll miss
