Lou Reed & John Cale I Believe lyrics

Valerie Solanis took the elevator, got off at the 4th floor
Valerie Solanis took the elevator, got off at the 4th floor
She pointed the gun at Andy saying, "You cannot control me anymore"

I believe, there's got to be some retribution
I believe, an eye for an eye is elemental
I believe, that something's wrong if she's alive right now

Valerie Solanis took three steps, pointing at the floor
Valerie Solanis waved her gun, pointing at the floor
From inside, her idiot madness spoke
And bang, Andy fell onto the floor

I believe, life's serious enough for retribution
I believe, being sick is no excuse
And I believe, I would've pulled the switch on her myself

When they got him to the hospital, his pulse was gone
They felt that he was dead
His guts were pouring from his wounds onto the floor
They thought that he was dead


Not until years later would the hospital do to him
What she could not, what she could not

"Where were you, you didn't come to see me"
Andy said, "I think I died, why didn't you come to see me"
Andy said, "It hurt so much, they took blood from my hand"

I believe, there's got to be some retribution
I believe, there's got to be some restitution
I believe, we are all the poorer for it now

Visit me, visit me
Visit me, visit me
Visit me, why didn't you visit me?
Visit me, why didn't you visit me?

Visit me, visit me
Visit me, why didn't you visit me?
