Lou Reed Trade In
I met a new me at 8 am The other one got lost This was not a trade in Although I wouldn't believe the cost I woke up crying as we said goodbye Me an my old self Each day he vanished more and more As I became someone else He actually was murdered I had taken him apart But when I put him back together I couldn't find his heart It was resting underneath a chair In a bed of bright tin foil If I pulled back the flaps I could still see it beat I could still hear his voice uncoil As I said : I want a trade in A 14th chance at this life I've met a woman with a thousand faces And I want to make her my wife How could I have been so mistaken How could I think that it was true A child that is raised by an idiot And that idiot then becomes you How could I believe in a movie How could I believe in a book But most of all how could I listen to you Such an obvious schmuck A life spent listening to assholes It's funny but it's true So get rid of them I said to myself But first I'm getting rid of you I want a trade in A 14th chance at this life I've met a woman with a thousand faces And I want to make her my wife Take me over to the window My heart said to my head Please set me on fine So we can start again I was so wrong that it's funny And I can't apologize/ but instead, You can be everything that I'm not The second that I die I want a trade in The second chance at this life I've met a woman with a thousand faces And I want to make her my wife
