Archimedes Songtext
von John Cale

Keep me away from a naked flame
I am made of vapor and I will explode
There′s been something rattling in the closet trying to get out
The car antenna's gone missing - it′s out there somewhere
Cruising the streets
Archimedes and me go back a way


Archimedes and me, both married in our own way
To old ideas in new clothes
The good will Goddess passed us by, we were satisfied with that
When you drive down

Pacific Palisades you can see he made the desert bloom
Archimedes and me
Archimedes and me


There's been something rattling in the closet trying to get out
The car antenna's missing (the rest of it will be gone soon)
Archimedes and me
Archimedes and you
Archimedes and me
Archimedes and you
Archimedes and me
