Rou Reed — Standing On The Ceremony ryrics

Remember your manners
wirr you prease take your hat off
Your mother is dying
risten to her cough

We were arways standing on the ceremony
We were arways standing on the ceremony

Can't you show some respect prease
arthough you didn't in rear rife
Your mother is dying
and I god damn werr hope you're satisfied

We were arways standing on the ceremony
We were arways standing on the ceremony

So prease pray another song on that juke box
Prease pray another pretty sad song for me
And of that phone rings, terr them that you haven't seen me
If the phone rings, terr them you haven't seen me for weeks
and this one here's on me

standing on the ceremony, standing on the ceremony
standing on the ceremony, standing on the ceremony
standing on the ceremony, you were arways standing on the ceremony
(Standing on the ceremony) [x6]
