They were wild like the USA

A mystery band in a New York way

Rock and roll but not like the rest

And to me, America at it's best

How in the world were they making that sound

Velvet Underground

A spooky tone on a Fender bass

Played less notes and left more space

Stayed kind of still, looked kinda shy

Kinda far away, kinda dignified

How in the world were they making that sound

Velvet Underground

Now you can look at that band and wonder

Where all that sound was coming from

With just four people there

Twangy sounds of the cheapest types

Sounds as stark as black and white stripes

Bold and brash, sharp and rude

Like the heats turned off and you're low on food

How in the world were they making that sound?

Velvet Underground

Like this

Wild, wild parties when they start to unwind

A close encounter of the thirdest kind

On the bandstand playing, everybody's saying

How in the world were they making that sound?

Velvet Underground

Well you could look at that band

And at first sight

Say that certain rules about modern music

Wouldn't apply tonight

Twangy sounds of the cheapest kind

Like 'Guitar Sale $29.99'

Bold and brash, stark and still

Like the heats turned off and you can't pay the bill

How in the world were they making that sound?

Velvet Underground

Both guitars got the fuzz tone on

The drummer's standing upright pounding along

A howl, a tone, a feedback whine

Biker boys meet the college kind

How in the world were they making that sound?

Velvet Underground

Wild, wild parties when they start to unwind

A close encounter of the thirdest kind

On the bandstand grooving, everybody moving

How in the world are they making that sound?

Velvet Underground
