Brandenburg Gate

[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
