Please
Come over to 81st street Im in the apartment above the bar
You know you cant miss it, its across from the subway
And the tacky store with the mylar scarves
My skins as pale as outdoors moon
My hairs silver like a tiffany watch
I like lots of people around me but dont kiss hello
And please dont touch
Its a czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
The way to make friends andy is invite them up for tea
Open house, open house
Ive got a lot of cats, heres my favorite
Shes lady called sam
I made a paper doll of her - you can have it
Thats what I did when I had st.vitus dance
Its a czechoslovakian custom my mother pased on to me
Give people little presents so they remember me
Open house, open house
Someone bring the vegetables, someone please bring heat
My mother showed up yesterday, we need something to eat
I think I got a job today they want me to draw shoes
The ones I drew were old and used
They told me - draw something new
Open house, open house
Fly me to the moon, fly me to a star
But there are no stars in the new york sky
Theyre all on the ground
You scared yourself with music, I scared myself with paint
It almost made me faint
Open house, open house
John Cale is a Welsh musician and composer born in 1942. After studying music in London and New York, he joined The Velvet Underground in 1965, significantly contributing to their experimental and distinctive sound in the first two albums. Cale introduced the droning viola sound, a characteristic element of songs like "Venus In Furs". After the album *White Light/White Heat*, he left the band due to musical differences with Lou Reed. Cale desired to continue exploring experimental sounds, while Reed gravitated towards simpler pop songs. Cale embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as *Vintage Violence* (1970) and *Paris 1919* (1973), influencing genres like experimental rock, ambient, and electronic music. Among his most representative tracks are "Gideon", "The Endless Plain of Glass" and "Hallelujah".
