Lyrics New York Telephone Conversation - Demo - 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 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, 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
