Halloween Parade Lou Reed

[Verse 1]
There's a downtown 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
But there ain't no Harry 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

[Verse 4]
There's the Born Again Losers and the Lavender Boozers
And some crack team from Washington Heights
The boys from Avenue B, the girls from Avenue D
A Tinkerbell in tights
This celebration somehow gets me down
Especially when I see you're not around
