Images Lyrics - Songs For Drella - Lou Reed

I think images are worth repeating 

Images repeated from a painting 

Images taken from a painting 

From a photo worth re-seeing 

I love images worth repeating 

Project them upon the ceiling 

Multiply them with silk screening 

See them with a different feeling 

Images, those images 

Images, those images 

Some say images have no feeling 

I think there's a deeper meaning 

Mechanical precision or so it's seeming 

Instigates a cooler feeling 

I love multiplicity of screenings 

Things born anew display new meanings 

I think images are worth repeating 

And repeating and repeating 

Images, those images 

Images 

I'm no urban idiot savant 

Spewing paint without any order 

I'm no sphinx, no mystery enigma 

What I paint is very ordinary 

I don't think I'm old or modern 

I don't think, I think I'm thinking 

It doesn't matter what I'm thinking 

It's the images that are worth repeating 

And repeating those images 

Images 

If you're looking for a deeper meaning 

I'm as deep as this high ceiling 

If you think technique is meaning 

You might find me very simple 

You might think the images are boring 

Cars and cans and chairs and flowers 

You might find me personally boring 

Hammer, sickle, Mao Tse Tong, Mao Tse Tong 

Those images 

Those images, images 

I think that it bears repeating the images upon the ceiling 

I love images worth repeating and repeating and repeating 

Images, images 

Those images, those images
