Lou Reed - White Prism

There's a white prism with phony jismSpread across it's faceAnd the soulful convicts forever interredLose the smile across their facesThe smile that registered hopes or dreamsHas proven just a wasteAnd I'm the indentured servantForever in his placeI'm the indentured servantForever in his placeI wish I built a cabinetOf shiny bolts and woodSecret draws and hiding placesSculpted out of woodSecret places, secret liesIn a desk lying aloneA secret letter written to youTo be read when you're aloneA secret letter written to youTo be read when you're aloneIt says, I'm your indentured servantI can no longer pretendThat I'm a lover or an equalI'm not even a friendI'm not good enough to serve youI'm not good enough to staySo it is that I beseech youTo please turn me awaySo it is that I beseech youTo please turn me awayTurn me awayTurn me awayTurn me awayI'm asking you to let me goIt hurts me when you're sadAnd I can not do better than thisWhich must surely make you madI'd be better off in your cabinetOr in a prison made of clothCrouched beneath your dress I comeShooting little spurtsCrouched beneath your dress I comeShooting little spurtsI'm your indentured servantBut even I have prideIn what I make or say or doAlthough I've lots to hideI hide from freedom and I hide from you'cause you've found me outI belong in prison beneath your legsIn a cabinet that I've builtBeneath a candle in a secret drawerIn a prison by a moatI'm your indentured servantAnd I'm asking you to leaveMe outside this prison cellWhere only you can breatheI-i-i, I'm your indentured servantBut I'm asking you for thisPlease release me from this loveAnd do it with a kissI'm your indentured servantI'm the one you'll missDo it with a kissDo it with a kissDo it with a kissI'm the one you'll miss
