Goodby Mass (In a Chapel Bodily Termination)

Goodby Mass (In a Chapel Bodily Termination) - Lou Reed

Sitting on a hard chair try to sit straight

Sitting on a hard chair this moment won't wait

Listening to the speakers they're talking about you

Look at all the people all the people you knew

Sitting with my back straight it becomes hard to hear

Some people are crying it becomes hard to hear

I don't think you'd have liked it you would have made a joke

You would have made it easier you'd say tomorrow I'm smoke

Sitting on a hard chair how far we have come

Trying hard to listen to your friends who have come

Some of them are famous and some are just like me

Trying hard to listen trying hard to see

Sitting on a hard chair it's over time to stand

Some people are crying I turn to grab your hand

It's your daughter saying thank you

You you would have made a joke

Isn't this something you say tomorrow I'm smoke

Sitting on a hard chair it's over time to stand

Some people are crying I turn to grab your hand

It's your daughter saying thank you

You you would have made a joke

Isn't this something you say tomorrow I'm smoke
