Lou Reed - Harry's Circumcision (Reverie Gone Astray) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Looking in the mirror
  • Harry didn't like what he saw
  • The cheeks of his mother, the eyes of his father
  • As each day crashed around him
  • The future stood revealed
  • He was turning into his parents
  • The final disappointment
  • Stepping out of the shower
  • Harry stared at himself
  • His hairline receding, the slight overbite
  • He picked up the razor to begin his shaving and thought
  • "Oh, I wish I was different.
  • I wish I was stronger
  • I wish I was thinner
  • I wish I didn't have this nose
  • These ears that stick out remind me of my father
  • And I don't want to be reminded at all."
  • The final disappointment
  • Harry looked in the mirror thinking of Vincent Van Gogh
  • And with a quick swipe lopped off his nose
  • And happy with that he made a slice where his chin was
  • He'd always wanted a dimple
  • The end of all illusion
  • Then peering down straight between his legs
  • Harry thought of the range of possibilities
  • A new face, a new life, no memories of the past
  • And slit his throat from ear to ear
  • Harry woke up with a cough
  • The stitches made him wince
  • A doctor smiled at him from
  • Somewhere across the room
  • "Son, we saved your life
  • But you'll never look the same."
  • And when he heard that, Harry had to laugh
  • And when he heard that, Harry had to laugh
  • Although it hurt, Harry had to laugh
  • The final disappointment
