Bottoming Out Lyrics by Lou Reed

Bottoming Out Lyrics

    I'm cruising fast on a motorcycle
    Down this winding country road
    And i pass the gravel on the foot of the hill
    Where last week i fell off

    There's still some oil by the old elm tree
    And a dead squirrel that i hit
    But if i hadn't left, i would have struck you dead
    So i took a ride instead

    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out

    My doctor says, she hopes i know
    How lucky i can be
    After all it wasn't my blood
    Mixed in the dirt that night

    But this violent rage, turned inward
    Can not be helped by drink
    And we must really examine this and i say
    I need another drink

    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out

    I'm tearing down route 80 east
    The sun's on my right side
    I'm drunk, but my vision's good
    And i think of my child bride
    And on the left in shadows
    I see something that makes me laugh
    I aim that bike at the fat pothole
    Beyond that underpass

    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out

    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
    Bottoming out
