[00:00.00]Power and Glory (The Situation) (LP版) - Lou Reed
[00:17.54]I was visited by the power and the glory
[00:21.57]I was visited by a majestic hymn
[00:26.75]Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky
[00:30.56]Electricity flowing through my veins
[00:35.30]I was captured by a larger moment
[00:39.08]I was seized by divinity's hot breath
[00:43.98]Gorged like a lion on experience
[00:48.16]Powerful from life
[00:53.38](I wanted all of it all of it all of it)
[00:57.80]All of it
[00:59.97](Not just some of it all of it all of it)
[01:05.29]All of it
[01:11.11]I saw a man turn into a bird
[01:15.35]I saw a bird turn into a tiger
[01:19.04]I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toes
[01:22.96]In the jungles of the Amazon
[01:26.42]I saw a man put a redhot needle through his eye
[01:30.39]Turn into a crow and fly through the trees
[01:35.27]Swallow hot coals and breathe out flames
[01:39.04]And I wanted this to happen to me
[01:43.81](I wanted all of it all of it all of it)
[01:48.80]All of it
[01:54.20](All of it all of it all of it)
[01:58.35]Not some of it
[02:02.72]We saw the moon vanish into his pocket
[02:05.86]We saw the stars disappear from sight
[02:10.01]We saw him walk across water into the sun
[02:13.90]While bathed in eternal light
[02:17.71]We spewed out questions waiting for answers
[02:22.02]Creating legends religions and myths
[02:27.66]Books stories movies and plays
[02:31.12]All trying to explain this
[02:35.98](I wanted all of it oh all of it)
[02:42.16]All of it
[02:43.19](All of it oh all of it)
[02:48.82]Not some of it
[02:53.57]I saw a great man turn into a little child
[02:56.75]The cancer reduce him to dust
[03:01.02]His voice growing weak as he fought for his life
[03:05.22]With a bravery few men know
[03:09.05]I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs
[03:13.49]Trying to stop the cancerous spread
[03:17.85]And it made me think of"Leda And The Swan"
[03:22.65]And gold being made from lead
[03:26.61]The same power that burned Hiroshima
[03:31.00]Causing three legged babies and death
[03:35.57]Shrunk to the size of a nickel
[03:39.45]To help him regain his breath
[03:43.18]And I was struck by the power and the glory
[03:47.47]I was visited by a majestic Him
[03:52.81]Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky
[03:56.34]As the radiation flowed through him
[04:02.36](I wanted all of it not just some of it all of it)
[04:07.68]He wanted all of it
[04:08.96](All of it all of it all of it)
[04:15.06]He wanted all of it not some of it
