It was a very cold clear fall nightI had a terrible dreamBilly name and brigid were playing under my stair caseOn the second floor about two o'clock in the morningI woke upBecause amos and archie had started barkingThat made me very angryBecause I wasn't feeling well and I told themI was very cross the real meThat they just better rememberWhat happened to sam the bad catThat was left at home and got sick and went pussy heavenIt was a very cold clear fall nightSome snowflakes were fallingGee, it was so beautifulAnd so I went to get my camera to take some picturesAnd then I was taking the picturesBut the exposure thing wasn't rightAnd I was going to call fred or gerryTo find out how to get set itI was too lateAnd then I remembered they were still probably at dinnerAnd anywayI felt really bad and didn't want to talk to anybodyBut the snowflakes were so beautiful and real lookingAnd I really wanted to hold themAnd that's when I heard the voicesFrom down the hall near the stairsSo I got a flashlightAnd I was scared and I went out into the hallwayThere's been all kinds of troublesLately in the neighborhoodAnd someone's got to bring home the bacon and anywayThere were brigid and billy playingAnd under the stair caseWas a little meadow sort of like the park at 23rd streetWhere all the young kids go and play frisbeeGee, that must be funMaybe we should do an article on that in the magazineBut they'll just tell me I'm stupid and it won't sellBut I'll just hold my ground this time, I meanIt's my magazine, isn't it?So I was thinking that as the snowflakes fellAnd I heard those voices having so much funGee, it would be so great to have some funSo I called billyBut either he didn't hear me or he didn't want to answerWhich was so strangeBecauseEven if I don't like reunions I've always loved billyI'm so glad he's workingI mean it's different than ondineHe keeps touring with those moviesAnd he doesn't even pay us and the filmI mean the film's just going to disintegrate and then whatI mean he's so normal off of drugsI just don't get itAnd then I saw john caleHe's been looking really greatHe's been coming by the office to exercise with meRonnie said I have a muscleBut he's been really mean since he went to aaI mean what does it meanWhen you give up drinking and then you're still so meanHe says I'm being lazy but I'm notI'm just can't find any ideasI mean I'm just notLet's face itGoing to get any ideas up at the officeAnd seeing john made me think of the velvetsAnd I had been thinking about themWhen I was on st. marks placeGoing to that new gallery those sweet new kids have openedBut the thought I was oldAnd then I saw the old domThe old club where we did our first showsIt was so greatAnd I don't understand about that velvet's first albumI mean I did the coverI was the producerAnd I always see it repackagedAnd I've never gotten a penny from itHow could that beI should call henryBut it was good seeing johnI did a cover for himBut I did in black and white and he change it to colorIt would have been worth more if he'd left it my wayBut you can never tell any body anything I've leaned thatI tried calling again to billy and johnThey wouldn't recognize me it was like I wasn't thereWhy won't they let me inAnd then I saw louI'm so mad at himLou reed got married and didn't invite meI mean is it because he thought I'd bring too many peopleI don't get itCould have at least calledI mean he's doing so greatWhy doesn't he call me?I saw him at the mtv showAnd he was one row away and he didn't even say helloI don't get itYou know I hate louI really doHe won't even hire us for his videosAnd I was proud of himI was so scared todayThere was blood leaking thought my shirtFrom those old scars from being shotAnd the corset I wear to keep my insides in was hurtingAnd I did three sets of fifteen pushupsAnd four sets of ten setupsBut then my insides hurtAnd I saw drops of blood on my shirt and I rememberThe doctors saying I was deadAnd then later they had to take blood out of my hand'couse they ran out or veinsBut thenAll this thinking was making me an old grouchAnd you can't do anything anyway soIf they wouldn't let me play with them in my own dreamI was just going to have to make anotherAnd anotherAnd anotherGee, wouldn't it be funny if I died in this dreamBefore I could make another one upAnd nobody calledAnd nobody came
