Lou Reed - Set the Twilight Reeling Lyrics

Take me for what I am a star newly emerging
Long simmering explodes inside the self is reeling
In the pocket of the heart, in the rushing of the blood
In the muscle of my sex, in the mindful mindless love
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling

At 5 am the moon and the sun sit set before my window
Light glances off the blue glass we set right before the window
And you who accept in your soul and your head
What was misunderstood what was thought of with dread
A new self is born the other self dead
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling

A soul singer stands on the stage the spotlight shows him sweating
He sinks to one knee Seems to cry the horn are unrelenting
But as the drums beats he finds himself growing hard
In the microphone's face he sees her face growing large
And the swelling crescendo no longer retards
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling

As the twilight sunburst gleams
As the chromium moon it sets
As I lose all my regrets and set the twilight reeling
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
