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?
