The Velvet Underground - Stephanie Says

Song from the album 'VU'.


Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What 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 city 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

She asks you 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

@ServantOfPuppets You eventually move out of state and nearly four years later a guy you just met the other day down in Michigan tells you about this song. The first day you know each other you tell him where you're from and he starts calling you "Alaska". The second day is when he tells you about the song and is surprised when you tell him that your name is Stephanie. He then sings the song as you wallk back into the college. Yeah, pretty much just happened to me.

What if your name is Stephanie and you live in Alaska O.O

@igginomitry she says she *listened* to it because it had the name stephanie. in other words, it caught her eye. learn to read. no moron is dumb enough to like a song they normally hate because of a name.

i cannot believe you love the song because it mentions your name. deep waters! IO am mary and i don't love jimi for thewind cries...so typical of adolescent minds gone stupid. God help America, cause if you kids will run the show in ten years we are all fucked no matter where we live. grow up. you are shallow and just plain dumb as dirt. no wonder Lou loved heroin.
