Forever Changed - Lou Reed, John Cale

Train entering the city

I lost myself and never come back

Took a trip around the world, and never came back

Black silhouettes, crisscrossed tracks, never came back

Forever changed X2

You might think I’m frivolous, uncaring and cold

You might think I’m frivolous, depends on your point of view

Society andy, who paints and records them

The high and the low, never turn back

Forever changed X4

Got to get to the city, get a job

Got to get some work, to see me through

My old life’s behind, I see you quickly receding

My life’s disappearing, disappearing from view

Hong Kong, and I was changed

Burma and Thailand, and I was changed

A few good friends, to see me through

Henry and Brigid, to see me through

Only art, to see me through

Only heart, to see me through

My old life’s disappearing, just feelin’from view

Forever changed X2

I was, forever changed
