"Experiment Number 1" lyrics - JOHN CALE

[Intro:]
(Turn the guitar up)

Well, the goodness of your heart, she's crying, "Let me out"
Well, the goodness of your soul, you say "Goodbye"
Well, there's only meat and dark of a vase
That says, "Goodbye, hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye"
(Come on, yell)

And we'll spell all the sweet talk that I hear from her
And those voices come creeping out of the night
What they do, will they know, what they know, when they don't know nothing
What they say that I hurt you once before
(G minor)

[Bridge 1:]
They lead a life apart from everybody, days in your mind
They like to feel so different when you watch them fall like flies
(C)
When you feel the night (B flat) feel the night out of the day
(Do it again)
When you see the night, you see the night, she loves the day
(G minor)

[Instrumental break]

(Go ahead, you figure a film, it's still solos)

Well, she talks too much to know much about everything
Christmas comes, just like breakfast, once a year
She does, seems just tired of living
Like a wall broke around her spell

[Bridge 2:]
Give me somewhere else to hold for, to live for
Give me something better to hope for
They'll give me anything they can
Give me anything you want us to hang onto
Hold on, hold
