Píseň: Trade In

Interpret:
Lou Reed
Album:
Set The Twilight Reeling
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 and 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
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 ...
I said... 
Uuuhhh 
14th, 14th chance at this life
