Patti Smith - Poppies lyrics

[Verse:] Heard it on the radio it's no good Heard it on the radio it's news to me When she getting something it's understood Baby's got something she's not used to Down down poppy yeah Waiting on the corner wanna score Baby wants something she's in the mood to Baby wants something I want more When I don't get it I get blue blue Down down and it's really coming Really coming down down poppy yeah She was tense and gleaming in the sun They split her open like a country Everyone was very pleased to be a state of Her mind was gently probed like a finger Everything soaking and spread with bu*ter And then they laid her on the table She connected with the inhaler And the needle was shifting like crazy She was she was completely still It was like a painting of a vase She just lay there and the gas traveled fast Thru the dorsal spine and down and around The an*l cavity her cranium it was really great man The gas had inflicted her entire spine With the elements of a voluptuous disease With a green vapor made her feet light I moved thru the door I saw the wheel and it was golden And oh my God I finally scored I turned the channel station after station I don't think there's any station Quite as interesting to me as the 12th station I tuned in to the tower too many centuries Were calling to me spinning down thru time Oh watch them say you're too high Before him we didn't worship suffering Didn't we laugh and dance for hours We were having fun as we built the tower I saw it spiraling up into his electric eye I felt it go in and started to cry Oh God are you afraid Why did the tower turn you off babe I want to feel you in my radio Goddamn in my radio If you want to go go if you want to see If you want to go as far as she You must look God in the face Heard it on the radio heard it on the radio One long ecstatic pure sensation restriction started excreting Started excreting ah exhilarating bottomless pit Hey Sheba hey Salome hey Venus eclipsing my way ah You're vessel every woman is a vessel is evasive is aquatic Everyone silver ecstatic platinum disk spinning
