  • Words and music: lou reed & john cale
  • It was a very cold clear fall night
  • I had a terrible dream
  • Billy name and brigid were playing under my stair case on the second floor about two oclock in the morning
  • I woke up because amos and archie had started barking
  • That made me very angry because I wasnt feeling well and I told them I was very cross the real me that they just better remember what happened to sam the bad cat that was left at home and got s
  • Nd went ***** heaven
  • It was a very cold clear fall night
  • Some snowflakes were falling
  • Gee, it was so beautiful
  • And so I went to get my camera to take some pictures
  • And then I was taking the pictures
  • But the exposure thing wasnt right
  • And I was going to call fred or gerry
  • To find out how to get set it
  • I was too late
  • And then I remembered they were still probably at dinner
  • And anyway
  • I felt really bad and didnt want to talk to anybody
  • But the snowflakes were so beautiful and real looking
  • And I really wanted to hold them
  • And thats when I heard the voices
  • From down the hall near the stairs
  • So I got a flashlight
  • And I was scared and I went out into the hallway
  • Theres been all kinds of troubles
  • Lately in the neighborhood
  • And someones got to bring home the bacon and anyway
  • There were brigid and billy playing
  • And under the stair case
  • Was a little meadow sort of like the park at 23rd street
  • Where all the young kids go and play frisbee
  • Gee, that must be fun
  • Maybe we should do an article on that in the magazine
  • But theyll just tell me Im stupid and it wont sell
  • But Ill just hold my ground this time, I mean
  • Its my magazine, isnt it?
  • So I was thinking that as the snowflakes fell
  • And I heard those voices having so much fun
  • Gee, it would be so great to have some fun
  • So I called billy
  • But either he didnt hear me or he didnt want to answer
  • Which was so strange
  • Because
  • Even if I dont like reunions Ive always loved billy
  • Im so glad hes working
  • I mean its different than ondine
  • He keeps touring with those movies
  • And he doesnt even pay us and the film
  • I mean the films just going to disintegrate and then what
  • I mean hes so normal off of drugs
  • I just dont get it
  • And then I saw john cale
  • Hes been looking really great
  • Hes been coming by the office to exercise with me
  • Ronnie said I have a muscle
  • But hes been really mean since he went to aa
  • I mean what does it mean
  • When you give up drinking and then youre still so mean
  • He says Im being lazy but Im not
  • Im just cant find any ideas
  • I mean Im just not
  • Lets face it
  • Going to get any ideas up at the office
  • And seeing john made me think of the velvets
  • And I had been thinking about them
  • When I was on st. marks place
  • Going to that new gallery those sweet new kids have opened
  • But the thought I was old
  • And then I saw the old dom
  • The old club where we did our first shows
  • It was so great
  • And I dont understand about that velvets first album
  • I mean I did the cover
  • I was the producer
  • And I always see it repackaged
  • And Ive never gotten a penny from it
  • How could that be
  • I should call henry
  • But it was good seeing john
  • I did a cover for him
  • But I did in black and white and he change it to color
  • It would have been worth more if hed left it my way
  • But you can never tell any body anything Ive leaned that
  • I tried calling again to billy and john
  • They wouldnt recognize me it was like I wasnt there
  • Why wont they let me in
  • And then I saw lou
  • Im so mad at him
  • Lou reed got married and didnt invite me
  • I mean is it because he thought Id bring too many people
  • I dont get it
  • Could have at least called
  • I mean hes doing so great
  • Why doesnt he call me?
  • I saw him at the mtv show
  • And he was one row away and he didnt even say hello
  • I dont get it
  • You know I hate lou
  • I really do
  • He wont even hire us for his videos
  • And I was proud of him
  • I was so scared today
  • There was blood leaking thought my shirt
  • From those old scars from being shot
  • And the corset I wear to keep my insides in was hurting
  • And I did three sets of fifteen pushups
  • And four sets of ten setups
  • But then my insides hurt
  • And I saw drops of blood on my shirt and I remember
  • The doctors saying I was dead
  • And then later they had to take blood out of my hand
  • couse they ran out or veins
  • But then
  • All this thinking was making me an old grouch
  • And you cant do anything anyway so
  • If they wouldnt let me play with them in my own dream
  • I was just going to have to make another
  • And another
  • And another
  • Gee, wouldnt it be funny if I died in this dream
  • Before I could make another one up
  • And nobody called
  • And nobody came
