lou reed - halloween parade lyrics
there's a down town fairy singing out proud mary
as she cruises christopher street
and some southern queen is acting loud and mean
where the docks and the badlands meet
this halloween is something to be sure
especially to be here without you
there's a greta garbo and an alfred hitchcock
and some black jamaican stud
there's five cinderellas and some leather drags
i almost fell into my mug
there's a crawford, davis and a tacky cary grant
and some homeboys lookin' for trouble down here from the bronx
but there ain't no hairy and no virgin mary
you won't hear those voices again
and johnny rio and rotten rita
you'll never see those faces again
this halloween is something to be sure
especially to be here without you
there's the born again losers and the lavender boozers
and some crack team from washington heights
the boys from avenue b and the girls from avenue d
a tinkerbell in tights
this celebration somehow get me down
especially when i see you're not around
there's no peter pedantic saying things romantic
in latin, greek or spic
there's no three bananas or brandy alexander
dishing all their tricks
it's a different feeling that i have today
especially when i know you've gone away
there's a girl from soho with a teeshirt saying i blow
she's with the jive five 2 plus 3
and the girls for pay dates are giving cut rates
or else doing it for free
the past keeps knock knock knocking on my door
and i don't want to hear it anymore
no consolations please for feelin' funky
i got to get my head above my knees
but it makes me mad and mad makes me sad
and then i start to freeze
in the back of my mind i was afraid it might be true
in the back of my mind i was afraid that they meant you
the halloween parade
at the halloween parade
at the halloween parade
see you next year - at the halloween parade
全美各地，萬聖節是一個夢想成真的夜晚。當紐約人全體湧向格林威治村舉辦的萬聖節遊行時，下曼哈頓也不例外。他們為了娛樂前去觀賞遊行的重頭戲紙糊木偶在人群中晃動，同時也縱情於一場別出心裁的化裝遊戲。
平時的規矩暫時被擱在一邊，數以千計盛裝的紐約人在街上遊行，無畏他人評判的眼光。男人會戴著帽子（穿得很少）一路走在吹笛的老婦身邊。沒有人會擔心這些怪人或異類，因為在這次遊行中，萬聖節是一個為所欲為的晚上。
也就是說，除了犯罪什麼都可以做。萬聖節當晚，美國其他多數城市處於一片混亂時，格林威治村卻很安寧。聚會狂歡者玩得很盡興，使當晚的犯罪率比同年其他夜晚要低。這也從各方面證明了，對紐約人而言萬聖節是把各種天馬行空的幻想化為現實的一刻。
