"Things" lyrics - JOHN CALE

[Intro:]
Elsewhere in the temple, the llamas are gearing up
To assault Tiger Mountain when the sun comes up

We sat around whispering in the candlelight
Trying to get a game plan for the night
Learning about the difference between North and South
Keep your gun in your pocket and your tongue in your mouth

[Chorus:]
And you'll be doing it
Doing the things
Doing it
Doing the things
The things you do in Denver when you're dead

A month is a Saturday - Wednesday's a week
I saw the way you looked at her Charlie Brown - good grief!
She pulled you into the shadows and taught you how to love
Patted you on the head and gave you a shove

[Chorus:]
And you were doing it
Doing the thing
Doing it
Doing the thing
Doing it
Doing the thing
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

The sexual exuberance of a concubine
Checks my carburetor one more time
With the passion of a thoroughbred
And the sensitivity of a moose
I rarely make a move unless I've got some proof

[Chorus:]
That I'll be doing it
Doing the thing
Doing it
Doing the thing
Doing it
Doing the thing
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

[Bridge:]
You live in Paris, I live in France
Things are expensive when you live first class
I learn Latin, you learn Greek
When you've got a minute, let's meet in Crete

[Chorus:]
And we'll be doing it
Doing the thing
Doing it
Doing the thing
Doing it
Doing the thing
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

[Outro:]
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
