lou reed :

i was lying in my bed last night
staring at a ceiling full of stars
when it suddenly hit me
i just have to let you know how i feel

antony :

we live together in a photograph of time
i look into your eyes
and the seas open up to me
i tell you i love you
and i always will
but i know you can't tell me

so i'm left to pick up , the little hint , the little symbols
of your devotion

and i feel your fists and i know it's out of love
and i feel the whip and i know it's out of love
and i feel your burning eyes burning holes
straight through my heart

it's out of love

and i accept and collect upon my body
the memories of your devotion

and i feel your fists and i know it's out of love
and i feel the whip and i know it's out of love
and i feel your burning eyes burning holes
straight through my heart

it's out of love

give me a little bit o' serious love
be full of love

your fistfuls of love
