Well, Richard - if you ask about a song on Mudcat, it's likely that other people will be interested in other aspects of the song - so we consider all songs fully, not necessarily according to the specifications of the thread originator.


I'M WAITING FOR THE MAN
(Lou Reed)

[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 1-2-5
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 3]
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
Oh, work it now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody bodies pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah, then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 5]
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling, oh, so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
Walk it home

[Outro]
Oh, it's alright
Huh huh

Take a look at the notes at this link. Here's part:

“I’m Waiting for the Man” visually describes the experience of buying heroin from a dealer, specifically $26 worth near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street in New York City.

“I’m Waiting For The Man” marks the beginning of a common motif that runs throughout The Velvet Underground & Nico, as the subject of heroin appears in several tracks afterwards.
