Lou Reed's, "Smalltown"
The Lyrics:
Where did Picasso come from
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
...
I hate being odd in a small town
If they star let them stare in New York City
at this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go?
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
...
I hate being odd in a small town
If they star let them stare in New York City
at this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go?
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
Why:
Pittsburgh, PA (hometown of Andy Warhol, who the song is about
New York City - Warhol's adopted home
New York City - Warhol's adopted home
