Lou Reed — Safety Zone

I thought I'd make a safety zone With the Doctor and the sister I thought I'd make a safety zone I thought I'd make a bridge Keep civility over here I though I'd build a safety zone I thought I'd build a safety zone I thought I'd bring together A hospital a school and my home Side stepping morality That... isn't me! I thought with my heart! I thought I'd build a safety zone The Japanese in this war have brought us to our collective needs I am asking please, can we all agree on one thing please? Here are proper letters Sealed and sent to state the obvious And though it seems too late I'm asking please can we declare a safety zone? Dear general may we build a safety zone? We're asking please may we build a safety zone Lives fly by in a minute Rape at the end of a barnet The sick and the elderly May, we build a safety zone Lives fly by in a minute Stuck at the end of a barnet Nothing to fear May we build a safety zone Were gonna starve or freeze May we build a safety zone Starve of freeze May we build a safety zone Starve or freeze May we build a safety zone Starve or freeze Starve or freeze May we build a safety zone
