Artist/Band: Lou Reed
Lyrics for Song: What becomes a legend most
Lyrics for Album: New Sensations [1984]



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 being 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

And 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

not a bed, that is half empty

Not a heart, that is left empty

that's not pretty, not pretty at all



What becomes a legend most

when she's lying in her hotel room

What becomes a legend most

well baby, tonight it's you (tonight it's you)

Baby, tonight it's you



(What becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la) Baby, it's you

(what becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la) maybe tomorrow

(What becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la) Baby, it's you

(what becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la)

(What becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la)

(what becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la)

(What becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la)

(what becomes a legend most, sha-la-la-la-la)
