Lyrics Forever Changed - Lou Reed, John Cale

Forever Changed

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
