"Wagon Wheel"
===================
album _Transformer_
(Lou Reed, 1972)
written by Lou Reed
===================
Won't you be my wagon wheel
(spoke spoke)
Won't you tell me baby, how do you feel
Yeah, you've gotta live, yeah, your life
as though you're number one
Yeah, you've gotta live, yeah, your life
and make a point of having some fun
But iff'n you think
that you get kicks from flirting with danger
Danger, ooohhh
just kick her in the head and rearrange her
Oh heavenly father, what can I do
what she's done to me is making me crazy
Oh heavenly father, I know I have sinned
but look where I've been, it's making me lazy
Won't you be my wagon wheel
Won't you tell me baby, how does it feel
You've gotta live, yeah, your life
as though you're number one
Yeah, you've gotta live, yeah, your life
and make a point of having some fun
But iff'n you think
that you get kicks from flirting with danger
Danger, ooohhh
just kick her in the head and rearrange her
And then why don't you wake me, shake me
please don't let me sleep too long
Why don't you wake me, shake me
please don't let me sleep too long
Don't wanna miss it now, wake me, shake me baby
please don't let me sleep too long
I wanna know why don't you wake me, shake me
please don't let me sleep too long
Why don't you wake me, shake me
please don't let me sleep too long
Why, why don't you wake me, shake me
please don't let me sleep too long
Why don't you wake me, oh shake me
please don't let me sleep too long
Why, why don't you wake me, shake me
please don't let me sleep too long

I just thought I might tell you:
"Wagon wheel" from "Transformer"
is actually written by David Bowie,
not Lou Reed as it says inside the cover.
This is a "secret" that has become known in the past years.
