Lou Reed - Trade In lyrics

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 a**holes, 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
