מילים לשיר Halloween Parade – Lou Reed

There's a down town fairy singing out "Proud Mary"
as she cruises Christopher Street
And some Southern Queen is acting loud and mean
where the docks and the Badlands meet This Halloween is something to be sure
Especially to be here without you There's a Greta Garbo and an Alfred Hitchcock
and some black Jamaican stud
There's five Cinderellas and some leather drags
I almost fell into my mug There's a Crawford, Davis and a tacky Cary Grant
And some Homeboys lookin' for trouble down here from the Bronx But there ain't no Hairy and no Virgin Mary
you won't hear those voices again
And Johnny Rio and Rotten Rita
you'll never see those faces again This Halloween is something to be sure
Especially to be here without you There's the Born Again Losers and the Lavender Boozers
and some crack team from Washington Heights
The boys from Avenue B and the girls from Avenue D
a Tinkerbell in tights This celebration somehow get me down
Especially when I see you're not around There's no Peter Pedantic saying things romantic
In Latin, Greek or Spic
There's no Three bananas or Brandy Alexander
Dishing all their tricks It's a different feeling that I have today
Especially when I know you've gone away There's a girl from Soho with a teeshirt saying "I Blow"
She's with the "jive five 2 plus 3"
And the girls for pay dates are giving cut rates
Or else doing it for free The past keeps knock knock knocking on my door
And I don't want to hear it anymore No consolations please for feelin' funky
I got to get my head above my knees
But it makes me mad and mad makes me sad
An.
