Words and music:lou reed & john cale You've got the money, i've got the time You want your freedom, make your freedom mine 'cause i've got the style it takes And money is all that it takes You've got connexions and i've got the art You like my attention and i like your looks And i have the style it takes and you know the people it takes Why don't you sit right over there, we'll do a movie portrait I'll turn the camera on and i won't even be there A portrait that moves, you look great i think I'll put the empire state building on your wall For 24 hours glowing on your wall Watch the sun rise above it in your room Wallpaper art, a great view I've got a brillo box and i say it's art It's the same one you can buy at any supermarket 'cause i've got the style it takes And you've got the people it takes This is a rock group called the velvet underground I show movies on them Do you like their sound 'cause they have a style that grates and i have art to make Let's do a movie here next week We don't have sound but you're so great You don't have to speak You've got the style it takes (kiss) You've got the style it takes (eat) I've got the style it takes (couch) We've got the style it takes (kiss)
