Take A Good Look At My Good Looks

New York Dolls


Spirit slumbers in nature 
And awakens in mind 
And finally recognizes 
Yourself in time 

Call us what you will but 
Love made us like this 
So what? Yeah, this whole world is just 
Artifice 

Take a good look at my good looks 
Then close your eyes 
Keep the picture in your mind 'cause 
I'll be gone 

One rainy day, I saw ya smiling 
You let me stay awhile 
And it was all right 
Living with you, not even trying 
The pain is long gone 
And it's all right! 

Take a good look at my good looks 
Then close your eyes 
Keep the picture in your mind 'cause 
I'll be gone 

Hellishly transparent 
Utterly divine 
Every little timeless gesture of 
Valentine 

Memories hold onto illusion 
Cause we're just human 
And that's all right (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) 
Duality is so confusin' 
You think you're not dreamin' 
Then you open 

There's no foundation 
No final resting place 
Only emptiness and 
Hellish grace 

Some rainy day, I'll find ya crying 
With love and animus 
Sparkling in your eyes (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) 
But you'll be the one to recognize me 
You'll all get lost 
Every time I fall (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) 

Nothing you say will scandalize me 
You'll be all right 
You're just like it is (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) 
It's all right, it's all right! 

Our noisy years will seem like moments 
In a film of 
Eternal tears (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) 
Seems so long to have romance 
(fade out...) (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)
