Make Up

Lou Reed


Your face when sleeping is sublime
And then you open up your eyes
Then comes pancake factor number one
Eyeliner, rose hips and lip gloss, such fun
You’re a slick little girl, you’re a slick little girl
Rouge and coloring, incense and ice
Perfume and kisses, oh it’s all so nice
You’re a slick little girl, you’re a slick little girl
Now we’re coming out, out of our closets
Out on the streets, yeah, we’re coming out
When you’re in bed it’s so wonderful
It’d be so nice to fall in love
When you get dressed i really get my fill
People say that it’s impossible
Gowns lovely made out of lace
And all the things that you do to your face
You’re a slick little girl, you’re a slick little girl
Eyeliner, whitener then color the eyes
Yellow and green, oh what a surprise
You’re a slick little girl, oh, you’re such a slick little girl
Now we’re coming out, out of our closets
Out on the streets, yes, we’re coming out
Yeah, we’re coming out ...
