Trade In — текст песни (Lou Reed)

I met a new me at 8 am, the other one got lost

This was not a trade in, although I wouldnt 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 couldnt 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

Ive 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, its funny but its true

So get rid of them I said to myself

But first Im getting rid of you



I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life

Ive 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 its funny, and I cant apologize

But instead you can be everything that Im not, the second that I die



Ooohhh, I want a trade in, the second chance at this life

Ive met a woman with a thousand faces

And I want to make her my wife



Ha!

A 14th chance at this life, I want a trade in ...

... I said ... uuuhhh, 14th, 14th chance at this life
