"N.Y. Stars"

album _Sally Can't Dance_
(Lou Reed, 1974)

written by Lou Reed
=========================


        The stock is empty
        in our eyeball store
        All we got left
        a few cataracts and sores
        The faggot mimic machine
        never had ideas
        Mission impossible
        they self-destruct on fear

        On a standard New York night
        ghouls go to see their so-called stars
        A fairly stupid thing
        to pay five bucks for fourth-rate imitators

        They say, "I'm so empty
        no surface, no depth
        Oh please can't I be you
        your personality's so great"

        Like new buildings
        square, tall and the same
        Sorry, Miss Stupid
        didn't know, you didn't know it's a game
        I'm just waiting
        for them to hurry up and die
        It's really getting too crowded here
        help your New York Stars

        Contributions accepted all the same
        We need a new people store
        remember we're very good at games
