For A Ride

Song For A Ride
Artist John Cale
Album Black Acetate

Lyrics

You really took yourself for a ride
Everything and everyone you tried
From flower to flower you flew, young butterfly
You thought your only limit was the sky
Your days were filled with spontaneity
You never thought how deep the wound would be
You said you didn't want to tell me lies
But you knew I'd see it in your eyes
Love can live, then sometimes slowly die
Pain's still pain even when tears are dry
If I leave you now I'm never coming back
I won't even stop to look back
Through your sorted lies I can still sift
My weekend heart's still strong enough to lift
My love about the flames of the fire
That furnace anger and burn out desire
My love goes beyond fidelity
I hope you found your own integrity
Yes, I hope you found your own integrity
You really took yourself for a ride
