Lou Reed - Harry's Circumcision 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 into 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's 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 his 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
  • Although it hurt Harry had to laugh
  • The final disappointment
