Lou Reed - The Heroine текст песни

The heroine stood up on the deck

The ship was out of control

The bow was being ripped to shreds

Men were fighting down below

The sea had pummeled the boat for so long

That they knew nothing but fear

And the babys in the box

He thinks the door is locked

The sea is in a state

The baby learns to wait for the heroine

Ohh, ohh, for the heroine

Locked in his defense, he waits for the heroine

The mast is cracking as he waves are slapping

Sailors roll across the deck

And when they thought none was looking

They would cut a weaker mans neck

While the heroine dressed in a virgin white dress

Tried to steer the mighty ship

But the raging storm wouldnt hear of it

They were in for a long trip

Babys in the box

He thinks the door is locked

He finds it hard to breathe

Drawing in the sea

And wheres the heroine to fire off the gun

To calm the raging seas

And let herself be seized, by the -

- baby in the box

The thinks the door is locked

The woman has the keys

But there is no moment she can seize

Heres to the heroine

Who transcends all the men

Who are locked inside the box

Will the lady let them out

Ohh, the heroine, ooohh, ooohhh, the heroine

Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine

Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine
