Lou Reed - Legendary Hearts lyrics

Legendary hearts Tearing us apart With stories of their love Their great transcendent loves While we stand here and fight And lose another night Of legendary love Legendary loves Haunt me in my sleep Promises to keep I never should have made I can't live up to this I'm good for just a kiss Not legendary love Romeo, oh, romeo, wherefore art thou romeo He's in a car or at a bar Or churning his blood with an impure drug He's in the past and seemingly lost forever He worked hard at being good But his basic soul was stained not pure And when he took his bow No audience was clapping Legendary hearts Tear us all apart Make our emotions bleed Crying out in need No legendary love Is coming from above It's in this room right now And you've got to fight To make what's right You've got to fight To make what's right You've got to fight To make what's right You've got to fight to keep your legendary love
