Lou Reed Lady Day
When she walked on down the street She was like a child staring at her feet But when she passed the bar And she heard the music play She had to go in and sing It had to be that way She had to go in and sing It had to be that way And I said no, no, no Oh, Lady Day And I said no, no, no Oh, Lady Day After the applause had died down And the people drifted away She climbed down the bar And went out the door To the hotel That she called home It had greenish walls A bathroom in the hall And I said no, no, no Oh, Lady Day And I said no, no, no Oh, Lady Day
