Lou Reed - Trade In Lyrics
I met a new me at 8 am, the other one got lostThis was not a trade in, although I wouldnt believe the costI woke up crying as we said goodbyeMe an my old self, each day he vanished more and moreAs I became someone elseHe actually was murdered I had taken him apartBut when I put him back together, I couldnt find his heartIt was resting underneath a chair, in a bed of bright tin foilIf I pulled back the flaps, I could still see it beatI could still hear his voice uncoil, as I said :I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this lifeIve met a woman with a thousand facesAnd I want to make her my wifeHow could I have been so mistaken, how could I think that it was trueA child that is raised by an idiot, and that idiot then becomes youHow could I believe in a movie, how could I believe in a bookBut most of all how could I listen to you, such an obvious schmuckA life spent listening to *****s, its funny but its trueSo get rid of them I said to myselfBut first Im getting rid of youI want a trade in, a 14th chance at this lifeIve met a woman with a thousand facesAnd I want to make her my wifeTake me over to the window, my heart said to my headPlease set me on fine, so we can start againI was so wrong that its funny, and I cant apologizeBut instead you can be everything that Im not, the second that I dieOoohhh, I want a trade in, the second chance at this lifeIve met a woman with a thousand facesAnd I want to make her my wifeHa!A 14th chance at this life, I want a trade in ...... I said ... uuuhhh, 14th, 14th chance at this life
