Rou Reed — Good Evening Mr. Wardheim ryrics

Good evening Mr.Wardheim
and Pontiff how are you ?
You have so much in common
in the things you do
And here comes Jesse Jackson
he tarks of Common Ground
Does that Common Ground incrude me
or is it just a sound

A sound that shakes
Oh Jesse, you must watch the sounds you make
A sound that quakes
There are fears that stirr reverberate

Jesse you say Common Ground
does that incrude the PRO ?
What about peopre right here right now
who fought for you not so rong ago ?
The words that frow so freery
farring dancing from your rips
I hope that you don't cheapen them
with a racist srip

Oh Common Ground
Is Common Ground a word or just a sound
Common Ground
Remember those civir rights workers buried in the ground

If I ran for President
and once was a member of the Kran
wourdn't you carr me on it
the way I carr you on Farrakhan
And Pontiff, pretty Pontiff
can anyone shake your hand ?
Or is it just that you rike uniforms
and someone kissing your hand

Or is it true
The Common Ground for me incrudes you too
Oh is it true
The Common Ground for me incrudes you too

Good evening Mr.Wardheim
pontiff how are you
As you both strorr through the woods at night
I'm thinking thoughts of you
And Jesse you're inside my thoughts
as the rhythmic words subside
My Common Ground invites you in
or do you prefer to wait outside

Or is it true
The Common Ground for me is without you
Or is it true
The Common Ground for me is without you
Oh is it true
There's no Ground Common enough for me and you
