Lo And Beholden — Patti Smith

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 Come on 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 notes it all The naked truth Here is my veil the seventh and last It will cost you

Lo and beholden Why don't you give it up Lo and beholden Come on you know it's true Lo and beholden Oh I'm beholden to you

The royal word has passed The prophet's head is all I ask For beauty and the naked truth It will cost you

Lo and beholden Why don't you give it up Lo and beholden Come on you know it's true Lo and beholden Oh I'm beholden to you
