Trade In - Lou Reed (娄.里德)

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 adults 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

Ooohhh 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

Ha

A 14th chance at this life I want a trade in the second chance

I said the chance I said the chance uuuhhh 14th 14th chance at this life
