Take a Good Look at My Good Looks - New York Dolls

Spirit slumbers in nature

And awakens in mind

And finally recognizes

Yourself in time

Call us what you will but

Love made us like this

So what?

Yeah, this whole world is just

Artifice

Take a good look at my good looks

Then close your eyes

Keep the picture in your mind 'cause

I’ll be gone

One rainy day, I saw ya smiling

You let me stay awhile

And it was all right

Living with you, not even trying

The pain is long gone

And it’s all right!

Take a good look at my good looks

Then close your eyes

Keep the picture in your mind 'cause

I’ll be gone

Hellishly transparent

Utterly divine

Every little timeless gesture of

Valentine

Memories hold onto illusion

Cause we’re just human

And that’s all right (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)

Duality is so confusin'

You think you’re not dreamin'

Then you awake!

There’s no foundation

No final resting place

Only emptiness and

Endless grace / greys

Some rainy day, I’ll find ya crying

With love and animus

Sparkling in your eyes (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)

But you’ll be the one to recognize me

You’ll all get lost

Every time I fall (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)

Nothing you say will scandalize me

You’ll be all right

You’re just like it is (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)

It’s all right, it’s all right!

Our noisy years will seem like moments

In a film of

Eternal tears (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)

Seems so long to have romance

(fade out…) (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)
