Trade In Lou Reed

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I want a trade in, a fourteenth chance at this life
I've met a woman with a thousand faces
And I want to make her my wife

[Verse 3]
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
