Words and music: 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, forever changed

You might think I'm frivolous, uncaring and cold
You might think I'm frivolous - depends on your point of view
Society and who paints and records them - the high and the low
I left my all life behind me and never went back

Forever changed, forever changed

Got to get to the city - get a job
Got to get some work to see me through
My old life's disappearing from view
Hong kong - and I was changed
Burma and india - and I was changed
Only art to see me through
Only heart to see me through
My old life disappearing from my view
Brigid and pat - please see me through
The whole thing quickly receding
My life disappearing - disappearing from view

Forever changed, forever changed

I left my old life behind and was forever changed
Forever changed
