Set the Twilight Reeling Songtext
von Lou Reed

Take me for what I am
A star newly emergin′
Long simmerin' explodes
Inside the self is reelin′
In the pocket of the heart, in the rushin' of the blood
In the muscle of my sex, in the mindful mindless love
Mindless, mindless love
I accept the new found man
And set the twilight reelin'

At five am the moon and the sun
Sit set before my window
Light glances off the blue glass we set
Right before the window
And you who accept, in your soul and your head
What was misunderstood, what was thought of with dread
A new self is born, the other self dead
I accept the new found man
And set the twilight reelin′


I accept the new found man
And set the twilight reelin′

A soul singer stands on the stage
The spotlight shows him sweatin'
He sinks to one knee, seems to cry
The horn are unrelentin′
But as the drums beats he finds himself growing hard
In the microphone's face he sees her face growin′ large
And the swellin' crescendo no longer retards
And I accept the new found man
And set the twilight reelin′

Oh-oh I accept the new found man
And set the twilight reelin'

As the twilight sunburst gleams
As the chromium moon it sets
As I lose all my regrets
And set the twilight reelin'
I accept the new found man
And set the twilight reelin′

(Reelin′, reelin', reelin′, reelin')
