Lyrics

[Intro: Lou Reed] I would cut my legs and tits off When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski In the dark of the moon It made me dream of Nosferatu Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau Oh, wouldn't it be lovely? [Chorus: James Hetfield] Small town girl Small town girl Small town girl Small town girl [Verse 1: Lou Reed & James Hetfield] I was thinking of Peter Lorre when things got pretty gory As I crossed to the Brandenburg Gate (Small town girl) I was feeling snappy, perhaps I'd been napping And I'd just ate (Small town girl) A following heart can tear you apart On a midnight-to-eight shift (Small town girl) A graveyard romance can only give one chance As the tombstones weave and breathe [Chorus: Lou Reed & James Hetfield] Small town girl Small town girl Small town girl Ah, small town girl Small town girl [Verse 2: Lou Reed & James Hetfield] Feeling happy when my heart got beating On a Sunday afternoon (Small town girl) I dreamt of breezes goin' through the treeses And stars were still illumed (Small town girl) I have three hearts that I keep apart Trying to relate (Small town girl) To normal feelings and the nighttime reelings And some absynthe drunk so late My small town girl [Chorus: Lou Reed, Lou Reed & James Hetfield, James Hetfield] I'm just a small town girl Small town girl [Verse 3: Lou Reed & James Hetfield] The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk Onto the size of dessert plates (Small town girl) But me, I'm happy 'cause I got my little nappy And some opium to set me straight (Small town girl) I'm just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl While my looks still hold me straight (Small town girl) [Verse 4: Lou Reed & James Hetfield] (Small town girl) Straight up to illusion and fantasy's fusion Of reality mixed with drink (Small town girl) I'm just a small town girl who's gonna give life a whirl Looking at the Brandenburg Gate I'm just a (Small town girl) small town girl givin' life a whirl Lookin', lookin' (Small town girl) At the Brandenburg Gate [Chorus: Lou Reed, Lou Reed & James Hetfield, James Hetfield] I'm just a small town girl Small town girl Yeah, yeah, small town girl I'm just a small town girl Small town girl
