Lyrics

Take me for what I am A star newly emerging Long simmerin' explodes Inside the self is reeling In the pocket of the heart, in the rushin' of the blood In the muscle of my sex, in the mindful mindless love Mindless, mindless love I accept the newfound man And set the twilight reeling At 5 a.m., the moon and the sun Sit set before my window Light glances off the blue glass we set Right before the window And you who accept in your soul and your head What was misunderstood, what was thought of with dread A new self is born, and the other self dead I accept the newfound man And set the twilight reeling I accept the newfound man And set the twilight reeling A soul singer stands alone on the stage The spotlight shows him sweating He sinks to one knee, and seems to cry The horn are unrelenting But as the drums beats he finds himself growing hard The microphone's face he sees her face growin' large The swellin' crescendo no longer retards And I accept the newfound man And set the twilight reeling Oh, I accept the newfound man And set the twilight reeling As the twilight sunburst gleams As the chromium moon it sets As I lose all my regrets And set the twilight reelin' I accept the newfound man I set the twilight reeling Reeling Reeling, reeling, reeling Reeling Ay-ayy Ay Ay-ayy Ay, ay-ay Thank you very much This is a song from The Third Velvet Underground album And it's a song I have never really gotta sing because It's got a complicated melody, it's been very difficult But Anthony can sing this song really, really beautifully It's called, "Candy Says"
