[00:03.802]Lou Reed -The Raven （Live）
[03:46.21]Once upon a midnight dreary
[03:47.691]As I pondered weak and weary
[03:50.430]Over many a quaint and curious
[03:51.900]Volume of forgotten lore
[03:54.700]While I nodded nearly napping
[03:56.490]Suddenly there came a tapping
[03:57.990]As of some one gently rapping
[04:00.560]Rapping at my chamber door
[04:02.150]'Tis some visitor I muttered
[04:04.189]Tapping at my chamber door
[04:05.718]Only this
[04:08.158]Only this and nothing more
[04:13.598]Muttering I got up weakly
[04:14.958]Always I've had trouble sleeping
[04:16.838]Stumbling upright my mind racing
[04:18.618]Furtive thoughts flowing once more
[04:20.887]I there hoping for some sunrise
[04:23.746]Happiness would be a surprise
[04:25.706]Loneliness no longer a prize
[04:27.376]Rapping at my chamber door
[04:28.696]Seeking out the clever bore
[04:29.996]Lost in dreams forever more
[04:31.736]Only this and nothing more
[04:41.215]Hovering my pulse was racing
[04:43.725]Stale tobacco my lips tasting
[04:45.375]Scotch sitting upon my basin
[04:46.855]Remnants of the night before
[04:49.375]Came again
[04:50.25]Infernal tapping on the door
[04:51.165]In my mind jabbing
[04:52.45]Is it in or outside rapping
[04:54.273]Calling out to me once more
[04:55.693]The fit and fury of Lenore
[04:58.253]Nameless here forever more
[05:02.242]And the silken sad uncertain
[05:04.342]Rustling of the purple curtain
[05:06.272]Thrilled me filled me
[05:08.262]With fantastic terrors never felt before
[05:10.711]So that now oh wind stood breathing
[05:16.70]Hoping yet to calm my breathing
[05:18.20]'Tis some visitor entreating
[05:20.380]Entrance at my chamber door
[05:21.870]Some lost visitor entreating
[05:23.740]Entrance at my chamber door
[05:25.380]This it is and nothing more
[05:27.470]Deep into the darkness peering
[05:29.100]Long I stood there
[05:30.820]Wondering fearing
[05:32.180]Doubting dreaming fantasies
[05:33.870]No mortal dared to dream before
[05:35.420]But the silence was unbroken
[05:37.170]And the stillness gave no token
[05:38.530]And the only word there spoken
[05:39.820]Was the whispered name Lenore
[05:42.920]This I thought
[05:43.730]And out loud whispered from my lips
[05:45.270]The foul name festered
[05:46.700]Echoing itself
[05:47.970]Merely this and nothing more
[05:51.460]Back into my chamber turning
[05:52.680]Every nerve within me burning
[05:54.70]When once again I heard a tapping
[05:55.349]Somewhat louder than before
[05:56.579]Surely said I
[05:57.779]Surely that is something at my iron staircase
[05:59.949]Open the door to see what threat is
[06:01.489]Open the window free the shutters
[06:03.149]Let us this mystery explore
[06:04.748]Oh bursting heart be still this once
[06:07.168]And let this mystery explore
[06:08.657]It is the wind
[06:09.377]It is the wind and nothing more
[06:11.727]Just one epithet I muttered as Inside
[06:14.27]I gagged and shuddered
[06:14.917]When with manly flirt and flutter
[06:16.927]In there flew a stately raven
[06:20.577]Sleek and ravenous as any foe
[06:22.977]Not the least obeisance made he
[06:25.337]Not a minutes gesture towards me
[06:27.987]Of recognition or politeness
[06:33.435]But perched above my chamber door
[06:35.155]This fowl and salivating visage
[06:37.05]Insinuating with its knowledge
[06:38.605]Perched above my chamber door
[06:40.55]Silent sat and staring
[06:41.335]Nothing more
[06:42.205]Askance askew
[06:47.294]The self's sad fancy smiles at you I swear
[06:50.153]At this savage viscous countenance it wears
[06:55.193]Though you show here shore and shaven
[06:57.573]And I admit myself forlorn and craven
[06:59.943]Ghastly grim and ancient raven
[07:02.263]Wandering from the opiate shores
[07:03.822]Tell me
[07:04.412]Tell me
[07:04.992]Tell me what thy lordly name is
[07:06.462]That you are not nightmare sewage
[07:07.922]Some dire powder drink or Inhalation
[07:09.672]Framed from flames of downtown lore
[07:11.790]And the raven sitting lonely
[07:13.620]Staring sickly at my male sex only
[07:15.550]That one word
[07:16.450]As if his soul in that one word
[07:17.950]He did out pour pathetic
[07:23.360]Nothing farther than he uttered
[07:25.239]Not a feather then he fluttered
[07:26.589]Till finally was I that muttered as I stared
[07:28.889]Dully at the floor like you
[07:31.719]Other friends have flown and left me
[07:34.858]Flown as each and every hope has flown before
[07:39.917]As you no doubt will before tomorrow
[07:45.115]Then I felt the air grow denser
[07:47.505]Perfumed from some unseen incense
[07:50.405]As though accepting angelic intrusion
[07:53.235]When in fact I felt collusion
[07:55.45]Before the guise of false memories respite
[07:57.605]Respite
[07:58.645]Respite through the haze of coc*ine's glory
[08:01.05]I smoke and smoke the blue vial's glory
[08:03.995]To forget
[08:05.365]At once
[08:06.325]The base Lenore
[08:07.644]Prophet said I thing of evil
[08:09.824]Prophet still if bird or devil
[08:11.544]By that heaven that bend above us
[08:12.914]By that god we both Ignore
[08:14.594]Tell this soul with sorrow laden
[08:16.944]Willful and destructive Intent
[08:19.53]Tell me how had lapsed a pure heart lady
[08:21.853]To the greediest of needs
[08:23.673]Sweaty arrogant d*ck less liar
[08:26.533]Who ascribed to nothing higher
[08:28.103]Than a jab from prick to needle
[08:30.192]Straight to betrayal and disgrace
[08:32.132]The conscience showing not a trace
[08:35.971]Be that word our sign of parting
[08:37.991]Bird or fiend I yelled upstarting
[08:39.701]Get thee back into the tempest
[08:41.41]Into the smoke filled bottle's shore
[08:42.641]Leave no black plume as a token
[08:44.591]Of the slime thy soul hath spoken
[08:46.621]Leave my loneliness unbroken
[08:49.270]Quit as those have quit before
[08:50.890]Take the talon from my heart
[08:53.240]And see that I can care no more
[08:54.930]Whatever mattered came before
[08:56.570]I vanish with the dead Lenore
[08:58.140]Quoth the raven nevermore
[09:00.28]Still is sitting silent sitting
[09:01.318]Above a painting silent painting
[09:02.718]Of the forever silenced wh**e
[09:04.238]And his eyes have all the seeming
[09:05.818]Of a demon's that is dreaming
[09:06.958]And the lamplight over him
[09:08.78]Streaming throws his shadow to the floor
[09:10.38]I love she who hates me more
[09:12.668]I love she who hates me more
[09:14.618]And my soul shall not be lifted from that shadow
[09:17.427]Nevermore
