Wild Child - Paris, 1972 Lou Reed

Lou (spoken): This is a new song. It's called "Wild Child." It's about a wild child, funnily enough.

I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit
And his wizard's hat
He spoke of his movie and how he was makin'
A new sound track

And then we spoke of kids on the coast
And different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't need notes
Then we spoke of Lorraine
Always back to Lorraine

I was talkin to Phil who was given to pills
And small racing cars
He had given them up since his last crack-up
Had carried him too far

Then we spoke in rhythm and verse
And the way an actress held her purse
And the way lifе at times could get worse
Thеn we spoke of Lorraine
It always comes down to Lorraine

She's a wild child
And nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
Oh, and nobody can get to her
