DEAD LETTER OFFICE: PALE BLUE EYES

'This is one of my favorite Lou Reed songs. Michael changed the

lyrics considerably and I added an exceedingly sloppy solo. Recorded live

to two track and is an outtake from Reckoning.'

-Peter Buck

PALE BLUE EYES

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel just about everything
Lately I'm just feeling bad
Lately I'm just feeling bad

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

I thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as just about everything
I had but couldn't keep
I had but couldn't keep

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

(That was real pretty)
