[Intro: Lou Reed]
I would cut my legs and tits off
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski
In the dark of the moon
It made me dream of Nosferatu
Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely?
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Small town girl
Small town girl
Small town girl
Small town girl
[Verse 1: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]
I was thinking of Peter Lorre when things got pretty gory
As I crossed to the Brandenburg Gate (Small town girl)
I was feeling snappy, perhaps I'd been napping
And I'd just ate (Small town girl)
A following heart can tear you apart
On a midnight-to-eight shift (Small town girl)
A graveyard romance can only give one chance
As the tombstones weave and breathe
[Chorus: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]
Small town girl
Small town girl
Small town girl
Ah, small town girl
Small town girl
[Verse 2: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]
Feeling happy when my heart got beating
On a Sunday afternoon (Small town girl)
I dreamt of breezes goin' through the treeses
And stars were still illumed (Small town girl)
I have three hearts that I keep apart
Trying to relate (Small town girl)
To normal feelings and the nighttime reelings
And some absynthe drunk so late
My small town girl
[Chorus: Lou Reed, Lou Reed & James Hetfield, James Hetfield]
I'm just a small town girl
Small town girl
[Verse 3: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]
The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk
Onto the size of dessert plates (Small town girl)
But me, I'm happy 'cause I got my little nappy
And some opium to set me straight (Small town girl)
I'm just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl
While my looks still hold me straight (Small town girl)
[Verse 4: Lou Reed & James Hetfield]
(Small town girl) Straight up to illusion and fantasy's fusion
Of reality mixed with drink (Small town girl)
I'm just a small town girl who's gonna give life a whirl
Looking at the Brandenburg Gate
I'm just a (Small town girl) small town girl givin' life a whirl
Lookin', lookin' (Small town girl)
At the Brandenburg Gate
[Chorus: Lou Reed, Lou Reed & James Hetfield, James Hetfield]
I'm just a small town girl
Small town girl
Yeah, yeah, small town girl
I'm just a small town girl
Small town girl
