How Do You Speak To An Angel Lyrics by Lou Reed

How Do You Speak To An Angel Lyrics

    A son who is cursed with a harridan mother
    Or a weak simpering father at best
    Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives
    Of filial love and incest

    How does he speak to a
    How does he speak to the prettiest girl
    How does he talk to her
    What does he say for an opening line
    What does he say if he's shy

    What do you do with your pragmatic passions
    With your classically neurotic style
    How do you deal with your vague self-comprehension's
    What do you do when you lie

    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl
    How do you speak to her
    How do you dance on the head of a pin
    When you're on the outside looking in

    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl
    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl
    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl
    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl

    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl
    How do you speak to a
    How do you speak to the prettiest girl
    You just say, hello, (hello) baby (hello)
    ...
    Baby, angel, how do you talk to the prettiest girl, you say
    Hello baby, hello baby, angel, angel, pretty little girl
    Angel, angel ....
