Lewis Allan Reed (born March 2, 1942) is an American rock singer-songwriter and guitarist. He first came to prominence as the guitarist and principal singer-songwriter of The Velvet Underground (1965-1973). The band gained little mainstream attention during their career, but became one of the most influential of their era. As the Velvets’ principal songwriter, Reed wrote about subjects of personal experience that rarely had been examined in rock and roll, including bondage and S&M ("Venus in Furs"), transvestites ("Sister Ray" and "Candy Says"), drug culture ("Heroin" and "I'm Waiting for the Man"), and transsexual people undergoing sex reassignment surgery ("Lady Godiva's Operation"). As a guitarist, he was a pioneer in the use of distortion, high volume feedback, and nonstandard tunings. Wikipedia

It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March I'd prefer you were straight forward You don't have to go through all of that I'm a New York city man, baby Say "go" and that is that		New York city man, you just say "go" and that is that I'm a New York city man, you just say "go" and that is that
It's far too complicated to make up a lie That you'd have to remember and really why I wouldn't want to be around you If you don't want to have me around I'm a M-A-N-N man Slink your eyes and I'll gone		I'm a M-A-N-N man, slink your eyes, honey, I love you, and I'll gone New York city man, slink your eyes and I'll gone
Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play But I'm no Lear with blinded eyes Say " go " and I am gone		The stars have shut their eyes up tight The earth has changed it's course A Kingdom sits on a black knight's back As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse While a clock full of butterflies on the hour Releases a thousand moths You say " leave" and I'll be gone Without any remorse No letters faxes phones or tears There's a difference between Bad and worse
I'm a New York city man, blink your eyes and I'll be gone New York city - man, blink your eyes and I'll be gone		New York city, I love you, New York city man New York city, I love you, blink your eyes and I'll be gone Just a little grain of sand New York city, ooohhh, I love you New York city, baby, blink your eyes and I'll be gone I love you ...
