Open House Lyrics by Lou Reed

Open House Lyrics

    Please
    Come over to 81st street i'm in the apartment
    Above the bar
    You know you can't miss it, it's across from the subway
    And the tacky store with the mylar scarves
    My skin's as pale as outdoors moon
    My hair's silver like a tiffany watch
    I like lots of people around me but don't kiss hello
    And please don't touch

    It's a czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
    The way to make friends andy is invite them up for tea
    Open house
    Open house

    I've got a lot of cats, here's my favorite
    She's lady called sam
    I made a paper doll of her, you can have it
    That's what i did when i had st.vitus dance

    It's a czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
    Give people little presents so they remember me
    Open house
    Open house

    Someone bring the vegetables
    Someone please bring heat
    My mother showed up yesterday
    We need something to eat

    I think i got a job today they want me to draw shoes
    The ones i drew were old and used
    They told me to draw something new
    Open house
    Open house

    Fly me to the moon
    Fly me to a star
    But there are no stars in the new york sky
    They're all on the ground

    You scared yourself with music, i scared myself with paint
    I drew 550 different shoes today, it almost made me faint
    Open house
    Open house
    Open house
    Open house
