Lyrics for Smalltown by Lou Reed:
| | | Artist: | Lou Reed |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Smalltown | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 86 | | | | Lyrics: | When you're growing up in a small town
when you're growing up in a small town
when you're
growing up in a small town
you say, no one famous ever came from here
When you're
growing up in a small town
and you're having a nervous breakdown
and you think that you'll
never escape it
yourself or the place that you live
Where did Picasso come
from
there's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
if art is the tip of the iceberg
I'm
the part sinking below
When you're growing up in a small town
bad skin, bad eyes, gay
and fatty
people look at you funny
when you're in a small town
My father worked in
construction
it's not something for which I'm suited
oh, what is something for which you are
suited
getting out of here
I hate being odd in a small town
if they stare let
them stare in New York City
as this pink eyed painting albino
how far can my fantasy
go
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
no adorable lisping Capote
my hero, oh, do
you think I could meet him
I'd camp out at his front door
There is only one good thing
about small town
there is only one good use for a small town
there is only one good thing
about small town
you know that you want to get out
When you're growing up in a small
town
you know you'll grow down in a small town
there is only one good use for a small
town
You hate it and you'll know you have to leave | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
