Lou Reed - Standing On The Ceremony Lyrics




Remember your manners
will you please take your hat off
Your mother is dying
listen to her cough

We were always standing on the ceremony
We were always standing on the ceremony

Can't you show some respect please
although you didn't in real life
Your mother is dying
and I god damn well hope you're satisfied

We were always standing on the ceremony
We were always standing on the ceremony

So please play another song on that juke box
Please play another pretty sad song for me
And of that phone rings, tell them that you haven't seen me
If the phone rings, tell them you haven't seen me for weeks
and this one here's on me

standing on the ceremony, standing on the ceremony
standing on the ceremony, standing on the ceremony
standing on the ceremony, you were always standing on the ceremony
(Standing on the ceremony) [x6]
