Lou Reed - New York Telephone Conversation lyrics
[Lou Reed - New York Telephone Conversation lyrics]
I was sleeping
Gently napping when I heard the phone
Who is on the other end
Talking? Am I even home?
Did you see what she did to him?
Did you hear what they said?
Just a New York conversation
Rattling in my head
Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear?
Oh, oh, my, and who really cares?
Just a New York conversation
Gossip all of the time
Did you hear who did what to
Whom? Happens all the time
Who has touched and who has dabbled
Here in the city of shows?
Openings, closings, bad repartee
Everybody knows
Oh, how sad and why do we call?
Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all
I am calling, yes, I'm calling
Just to speak to you
For I know this night will kill me
If I can't be with you
If I can't be with you
Gently napping when I heard the phone
Who is on the other end
Talking? Am I even home?
Did you see what she did to him?
Did you hear what they said?
Just a New York conversation
Rattling in my head
Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear?
Oh, oh, my, and who really cares?
Just a New York conversation
Gossip all of the time
Did you hear who did what to
Whom? Happens all the time
Who has touched and who has dabbled
Here in the city of shows?
Openings, closings, bad repartee
Everybody knows
Oh, how sad and why do we call?
Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all
I am calling, yes, I'm calling
Just to speak to you
For I know this night will kill me
If I can't be with you
If I can't be with you
