The Velvet Underground - andy’s chest

나는 사랑하는 사람에게 다가가기 위해 여러 상징적인 존재로 변신하고 싶다는 마음을 노래한다
박쥐와 연, 그리고 곰의 비유를 통해 그를 쫓는 모습을 그리고 있다
자연과 생명체 또한 그를 향해 나아간다는 메시지를 담고 있다

If I could be anything in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come swooping after you
And if the last time you were here, they were a bit cuckoo
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts
And all the missionaries lose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains bolder after you?
If I could be any one of the things in the world that bite
Instead of an endangered ocelot on a leash, I'd rather be a kite
And be tied to the end of your string, flying in the air at night
'Cause you know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy-minded pink bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And all the stones are erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you
