Patti Smith Lo & Beholden
I was alone and content in my world
Dancing on air
You sent to me a message that said
I like your style
Will you come to the temple tonight
And dance for me there?
I pledge to you all that you wish
The moon and the stars
Lo and beholden, why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden, oh now you know it's true
Lo and beholden, oh I'm beholden to you
In the palace there was wild reverie
And the look in your eyes
As I dropped veil after veil
Was drunken desire
The dove calls and God he notes it all
The naked truth
Here is my seventh veil and last
It will cost you
Lo and beholden, why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden, oh now you know it's true
Lo and beholden, oh I'm beholden to you
Dove calls and God he notes it all
You know it's true
Here is my seventh veil and last
It will cost you
The royal word it has been passed
The Prophet's head is all I ask
For beauty and the naked truth
It will cost you oh you
Lo and beholden, why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden, oh now you know it's true
Lo and beholden, oh I'm beholden for you
Oh you
Lo and beholden, why don't you give it up?
Oh I'm beholden to you
Oh you, oh you, oh
