Lou Reed - Who Am I (Tripitena's Song) Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder who am Ithe world seeming to pass me byA younger man now getting oldI have to wonder what the rest of life will holdI hold a mirror to my facethere are some lines that I could traceTo memories of loving youthe passion that breaks reason in twoI have to think and stop me nowif reminisces make you frownOne thinks of what one hoped to beand then faces realitySometimes I wonder who am Iwho made the trees, who made the skyWho made the storms, who made heartbreakI wonder how much life I can takeI know I like to dream a lotand think of other worlds that are notI hate that I need air to breatheI'd like to leave this body and be freeI'd like to float like a mystic childI'd like to kiss an angel on the browI'd love to solve the mysteries of lifeby cutting someone's throat or removing their heartYou'd like to see it beatyou'd like to hold your eyesAnd though you know I'm deadyou'd like to hold my thighsIf it's wrong to think on thisto hold the dead past in your fistWhy were we given memorieslet us lose our minds and be set freeSome-, sometimes I, I wonder who am Ithe world seeming to pass me byA younger man now getting oldI have to wonder what the rest of life will holdI wonderI wonder -- Ooohhh, who started all thiswas God in love and gave a kissTo someone who later betrayedand Godless love sent us awayTo someone who later betrayedand Godless love sent us away
