Lou Reed
Ennui
[Verse 1]
All the things you said, you thought I was dead
Everything made me feel aware
Ah, you're getting old, you're doing things
You're losing your hair
All of the things that you used to believe in
Turned out to be true, you're guilty of reason

[Verse 2]
You're the kind of person that I could do without
And certain kinds of money
Would make you see what it's all about
There's a first time for everything
And the first one's on me, don't you see?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
All of the things that your old lover said
Look at them, they jump out of windows
And now they're just dead
It's the truth, don't you realize?

[Verse 4]
They live without any talent or fun
Running out on the streets, balling anyone
It's the truth, it's the truth
[Verse 5]
Pick up the pieces that make up your life
Maybe some day you'll have a wife and then alimony
Oh, can't you see
