Images Lyrics by Lou Reed

Images Lyrics

    I think images are worth repeating
    Images repeated from a painting
    Images taken from a painting
    From a photo worth re-seeing

    I love images worth repeating
    Project them upon the ceiling
    Multiply them with silk screening
    See them with a different feeling

    Images, oh, images
    Images, oh, images

    Some say images have no feeling
    I think there's a deeper meaning
    Mechanical precision or so it's seeming
    Instigates a cooler feeling

    I love multiplicity of screenings
    Things born anew display new meanings
    I think images are worth repeating
    And repeating and repeating

    Images, oh, images
    Images, images

    I'm no urban idiot savant
    Spewing paint without any order
    I'm no sphinx, no mystery enigma
    What i paint is very ordinary

    I don't think i'm old or modern
    I don't think i think i'm thinking
    It doesn't matter what i'm thinking
    It's the images that are worth repeating

    And repeating, oh, images
    Images

    If you're looking for a deeper meaning
    I'm as deep as this high ceiling
    If you think technique is meaning
    You might find me very simple

    You might think that images boring
    Cars and cans and chairs and flowers
    You might find me personally boring
    Hammer, sickle, mao tse tong

    Mao tse tong
    Ooohhh, images, images
    Images

    I think that it bears repeating
    The images upon the ceiling
    I love images worth repeating
    And repeating and repeating

    Images, images
    Oh, images, oh, images
