New York Telephone Conversation — текст песни (Lou Reed)

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, my, and what shall we wear

Oh, my, and whop 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, why do we call

Oh, Im glad to hear from you all



I am calling, yes Im calling just to speak to you

For I know this night will kill me, if I cant be with you

If I cant be with you
