How Do You Speak to an Angel — текст песни (Lou Reed)

A son who is cursed with a harridan mother

Or a weak simpering father at best

Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives

Of filial love and incest



How does he speak to a

How does he speak to the prettiest girl

How does he talk to her

What does he say for an opening line

What does he say if hes shy



What do you do with your pragmatic passions

With your classically neurotic style

How do you deal with your vague self-comprehensions

What do you do when you lie



How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to her

How do you dance on the head of a pin

When youre on the outside looking in



How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl



How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

You just say, hello, (hello) baby (hello)

...

Baby, angel, how do you talk to the prettiest girl, you say

Hello baby, hello baby, angel, angel, pretty little girl

Angel, angel ....
