What Becomes a Legend Most Lou Reed

[Verse 1]
What becomes a legend most?
When she's alone in a hotel lobby
What becomes a legend most?
Some bad champagne and some foreign bottled beer

[Verse 2]
What becomes a legend most?
When the musicians have come and then leave her
What becomes a legend most?
Besides being a legendary star

[Verse 3]
What becomes a legend most?
Lying in bed, cold and regal
What becomes a legend most?
Lying in bed, watching a talk show on TV

[Verse 4]
What becomes a legend most?
Fifty days in fifty cities
And everyone says she looks pretty
At least as pretty as a legend should

[Bridge]
Fifty days can wear you down
Fifty cities flying by
A different man in each different hotel
And if you're not careful, word can get around
