Stephanie Says
by Lou Reed
Stephanie says
That she wants to know
Why she’s given half her life
To people she hates now.
Stephanie says
When answering the phoneWhat country shall I say
Is calling from across the world?
But she’s not afraid to die;
The people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her,
‘Cause it’s all in her mind–
It’s all in her mind.
Stephanie says
That she wants to know
Why it is, though she’s the door,
She can’t be the room.
Stephanie says
But doesn’t hang up the phone,
What seashell she is calling
From across the world.
But she’s not afraid to die;
The people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her,
‘Cause it’s all in her mind–
It’s all in her mind.
They’re asking Is it good or bad?
It’s such an icy feeling.
It’s so cold in Alaska,
It’s so cold in Alaska,
It’s so cold in Alaska.
