Velvet Underground, The - All Tomorrows Parties lyrics

Album: The Velvet Underground & Nico (1966)

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow´s parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow´s parties
And where will she go, & what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She will turn once more to Sunday is clown & cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow´s parties
Why silks & linens of yesterday is gowns
To all tomorrow´s parties
And what´ll she do with Thursday is rags
When Monday comes around
She will turn once more to Sunday is clown & cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow´s parties
For Thursday is child is Sunday is clown
For whom none´ll go mourning

A blackened shroud
A hand-me-down gown
Of rags & silks - a costume
Fit for one who sits & cries
For all tomorrow´s parties
