With two tape decks and a microphone

I bang on my guitar

Just two tape decks and a microphone

And I am a superstar

Though I may never leave this place

And all the stuff I have to face:

Hey Lou Reed

Do you hear me?

I don't want to be no one

I dream my dreams

Suck in my screams

I don't want to be no one

No no no

My walkman plays and this rain whipped train

It slowly fades away

My walkman plays and this rain whipped train

Swoops down on JFK

Though I may never leave this place

And all the stuff I have to face:

Hey Lou Reed

Do you hear me?

I don't want to be no one

Freaked out scenes

Amphetamines

I don't want to be no one

No no no

Does it get cold and alone

When you're all on your own in NYC?

Lisa says, Caroline says, Candy says she wants to be

with me

Hey Lou Reed do you hear me?
