Betrayed [Live in Italy] Lou Reed

Betrayed
By the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you
Above all other men

Betrayed
By her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty
And I lay down betrayed

Justice taught her confidence
Her mother was like steel
Her cousins, they're all convicts
She alone rose above that wheel

But a motorcyclist no matter how good
Is slave to the oncoming truck
And the poison of her father was
Her most pitiless luck

Betrayed
By the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you
Above all other men

Betrayed
By her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty
And I lay down betrayed
