=======================================
album _The Velvet Underground and Nico_
(The Velvet Underground, 1967)
written by Lou Reed
=======================================
Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk down Union Square
you never know who you gonna find there
You gotta run run run run run
take a drag or two
Run run run run run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do
Margarita Passion I had to get her fixed
she wasn't well, she's getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
didn't know things she could buy
And she would run run run run run
take a drag or two
Run run run run run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
hard-nailed boots wrapped around her toes
When she turned blue, all the angels screamed
they didn't know, they couldn't make the scene
She had to run run run run run
take a drag or two
Run run run run run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do
Beardless Harry, what a waste
couldn't even get a small town taste
Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven
figured if he was good, he'd get himself to heaven
'Cause he had to run run run run run
take a drag or two
Run run run run run
gypsy death and you, tell you what to do
