what becomes a legend most

Lou Reed

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
What becomes a legend most
- when the musicians have come and then leave her
What becomes a legend most
- besides beeing a legendary star
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
What becomes a legend most
- fifty days in fifty cities
Everyone says she looks pretty
At least as pretty as a legend should

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

What becomes a legend most
- when she?s lying in her hotel room
What becomes a legend most
- well baby tonight it?s you
