Lou Reed – Sally Cant Dance Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 30 Second

Sally dances on the floor
She says that she cant do it anymore
She lives up on St. Marks Place
And eats natural food at my place

Now, Sally cant dance no more
She cant get it off the floor
Sally cant dance no more
Oh, Sally cant dance no more

Sally is losing her face
She lives up on St. Marks Place
In a rent-controlled apartment, 80 dollars a month
She has lots of fun she has lots of fun

Sally cant dance no more
She cant get it off the floor
Sally, cant dance no more
Oh Sally, she cant dance no more

That, that, that girl in my neighborhood
To wear a tied-dyed jean, ah, like as she should
She was the first girl that Ive ever seen
That had flowers painted on her jeans
She was the first girl that I ever knew
To got raped at Tompkins Square, real good
Now she wears a sword, like Napoleon
And she kills the boys and she acts like a son

Sally cannot dance no more
She cant get it out off the floor
Sally cant dance no more
Oh, Sally cannot dance no more

Sally became a big model
Lived on Madison and Park
She had a studio apartment
And thats where she used to ball all those folks
Thats where she used to ball all those folk singers

Sally cannot dance no more
She cant get it out off the floor
Sally cannot dance no more
Oh, Sally cant dance no more

She knew all the really right people
She went to Le Jardin
She danced with Picassos illegitimate mistress
Wore Kenneth Lane jewels, it was her setup

Sally cannot dance no more
She aint getting off the floor
Sally cant dance no more
